Yesterday I washed my car, one hour later I reversed it out of the drive when all of a sudden droplets of water started pouring out of the rear view mirror! It went on until I jammed a towel under the mirror and it soaked it all up.
Checked the car from outside and it appears the pillars on the top of the car have came loose(the plastice black bits), anything like this happened to anyone else?
Dont know how much more hassle I can take with this car, its starting to get me down :(

I had this problem and it was found to be the ariel hole that was leaking.

Yep, aerial is the likely culprit - I've seen that reported a few times on MINI2.

If your headling is marked make sure they fix/replace it under warranty too.

I've had the rear brake light replaced due to drips into the boot :dead:

I also had both rear light replaced early on as they were all fogged up :dead:

Ken, re. your prob. with the rear light cluster, when I fitted my lexus lights I found BMW had fitted an extra layer of gasket sealing tape round the side of the oem part, if you have not already done this it might be worth checking.

ps. The join of the gasket tape is obviously at the bottom of the cluster.
