Product info: comes inside a plastic bag containing two shades folded each inside its own pouch. One side is silver and reflective and the other side is black with a mini logo. Fit is perfect. Used on a 2009 Mini Cooper S
Update ***Logo does not come printed anymore. Found out that it was a limited batch***
I am officially in the mini cooper club. I purchased a 2009 Mini Cooper S a few months ago during winter. I love the double sunroof as it lets a lot of light in. There is no issue with heat inside the car during the cold months. However - living in Miami, FL. the heat can be a little unbearable. I like a little sun but not as much as I was getting in my Mini.
If you're reading this, you know that the mesh that blocks light in a mini cooper sunroof is all but useless. It does nothing to reduce heat inside the car, the sun still beams inside your car, sure it's a little less but it's still coming through. Personally I cannot stand it - i hate it. It's too damn hot, why couldn't BMW design it so it covers the sun completely?
Anyway, I looked thoroughly for a sunroof shade before I decided to purchase these. There is another vendor on Amazon that sells the ones with suction cups, which to me are a little aesthetically unpleasing to the eye and they are also more expensive. I wanted something that looked cool while at the same time blocked the sun completely - these shades are it. They fit perfectly in the gap between the shade mesh inside your mini and the roof - just perfect - like a glove.
You cannot open the sunroof for wind without these (or any other sunroof shade for that matter) without making a rattling sound, like cloth in the wind. This to me is not important, however. I didn't want these so I could open the sunroof and have shade, I purchased them strictly to block out the sun when the sunroof was closed. I keep it closed all the time and will most likely do so unless it's cool at night or it's winter, in which case I will remove the shades.
With that said, these are awesome. I highly recommend them. As a matter of fact this is my second set because I own two MINIs. Get them, they are the solution to your overheating needs inside. your mini. I'm definitely happy with my purchase and would buy again if the ones I have ever wear out.
