New cowls and alignment strip for my 2009 S Hatchback, R56. I have fought and fought to get the channel on the alignment strip for the windshield to sit in that channel and STILL can't get it. I tried just using it like you did and the rubber on the cowls do not sit on the windshield...they stick up off of it. I'll try again, maybe the 18th time's a charm.

Great informative video man. I'll check your page for more mini cooper stuff
-
thanks for good video. seems that the plastic quality of this model is not durable as its expected.
-
Where can I purchase a new cowl with weather stripping
-
Can/will water leak from this? I have found water on my driver's side floorboard (streams from hood latch). It's definitely dry rotted and needs replacement. I've checked the sunroof drains and they seem to be working properly 😊
