However, there is a potential benefit to arise from this...
If it rains tomorrow, we get to take the original Mini to school!

These are easy to replace. But I suggest getting a motor and regulator assembly. The regulator is a pain and they like to explode their cable guts all over the place if looked at wrong.

Haha, that sucks dude. It seems like 70% of the Minis I drive have this issue. Also the rear tires wear like shit.

Replace it with a crank set up.

Finding a place for a winder on that door is going to be tricky...

Did new Minis not come with crank winodws from the factory? Like the base spec Mini One? When we converted the XJ to crank windows, we had to replace the whole door panel and window regulator mechanism since they were vastly different. We didn't just drill through the existing door panel.

In his defense, drilling a hole through the panel would be expected from my work on my XJ.

How dare you suggest that a premium manufacturer such as BMW would ever consider offering plebeian window winders?!
No but really, not even the One were offered with manual cranks - electric windows were standard all through the range.

I could make a very long list of issues that 70% of 1st gen bmw Mini's will have. And this is a minor one.

In its defense, it is German, and German cars tend to have problems with power windows at some point in their life.
Normally one tries their best to hope that it doesn't get stuck *down*, as long as the A/C works correctly.
