I do not recommend it, I would like to buy another brand

I do not recommend it, I would like to buy another brand. I have a 2005 MINI Cooper and yes they fit and work. But the spring clip was too stiff and the screwdriver slot was deep enough, making installing these things a nightmare. Oh the factory mini stays popped up like a dream, the clamps aren't too tight and there's a nice slot to put a screwdriver in. It literally took a few seconds to take off my old ones. These things took 40 minutes to install due to poor design. I believe it takes no more than 5 minutes with factory quality stands. They are also too rigid and now the hatch is difficult to close and requires both hands. In addition to using the retractable handle, I now have to use my other hand to push and slam the sunroof on the outside of the car or it won't latch properly. Hey, at least now I can use my sunroof to keep this thing from falling off my head.
