R52 / R57 Mini Cooper Convertible Rear Window Regulator Repair / Replacement F52 / F57

R52 / R57 Mini Cooper rear window lifter repair on convertible JCW. My John Cooper Works Mini Cooper Convertible is a real blast to drive... until the little things break. The mini cooper rear window regulator has broken for me three times. Twice on one side, once on the other. *** Update 9/27/21 now 4 times!!!! $#!+ this is poor design!!! I figured if it has been such a problem for me, it's a problem for you too. There is a little plastic part that holds the cables together that breaks. Save your money, do the fix in a couple hours. It's not that bad and only needs simple tools. You can do it!!! Please post in comments if you needed to fix a mini cooper rear window lifter too! (Even if you had it done in a mini dealership.) This is the same repair for Mini Cooper Base, Mini Cooper S, and John Cooper Works. R52, R57, and F57 designations.
