Wheelarch Trim

Hello Guys, Anyone had problem with wheelarch trim coming loose? Passenger side trim loose yesterday when I washed it.

I think this was a fairly common problem with the second gen new MINI. Although ours have never come off, I have heard of others coming off when going through big puddles etc.

Does it not just clip back on? Or are there broken clips?

Duncan S has had this a few times, not sure how he fixed it tho... maybe best send him a PM...

Had the bottom several clips on the front passenger side break several times now.
Not found a solution (had to replace 2 again 10 days ago) but think the wheel arch liner may not be sitting right causing it to put pressure on the arch going through puddles. I pushed the arch liner around a bit to try and get it off the plastic arch and so far so good

This has happened to us too, a few of the passenger clips have broken and the arch lining had dropped a wee bit, can you buy these clips anywhere or does it need to be from BMW?

I think BMW/MINI is your best bet as they are buttons. Give David at John Clarks a call and he can just post them to you.

They are really cheap anyway, you could possibly save pennies. But David gives a really good service & discount

I had one on my last Cooper that was slack, it eventually parted company with the car goin thru a big puddle and never seen it again.
