Its been a hot, hot summer. The rear window of my 2013 roadster separated from the convertible soft top. Preliminary research tells me I can't just replace or have the window re-attached. Seems I need to replace the entire top. Is this the case? Is there any way to repair the top and re attach the window?
If not, what are suggested routes to get the top replaced? Should I go to the dealer? Should I buy the soft top and take to someone to attach?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

LEDs are a good price/result option if you do not want the Xenon bite to your wallet. The one issue you can gt with LEDs is you can get a failed bulb warning light. This is because MINI used resistance to determine if the light bulb has failed, LEDs have less resistance and the car thinks the bulb has burned out. The LED will work fine, you just get a warning light. They also sell in-resistors to correct the issue, or higher end LEDs have them built in. Just something to look for when shopping around.
Okay. That is really good to know. I will look at the higher end ones. Can you recommend a mechanic for the install?

Thanks Greencactus. That is what my research reveals. I am thinking about LEDs as a half step between the halogens and the Xenons. The Xenons are close to $1k with labor and all.

I don't know if it's just me, but I headlights on my 2013 Roadster seem very dim. I find it hard to see at night when its raining. I think I need to replace the bulbs but not sure what kind, where I should go or who I should talk to. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
