  • 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible Dual Center Exhaust
  • Great news Dave, we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH77FR which is specifically designed to fit your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible. The 1-1/4" receiver will exit just above the dual center exhaust. You will likely need to also install the 4-Way Wiring # C59496 when you install the receiver. This would allow you to connect to a small trailer you might tow and also to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should your hitch mounted accessory impair the view of your tail lights.

  • Will the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit Fit a 1-1/8" Thick Door
  • I do have an option for you but all of our entry door latches like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019 which is what I recommend are for 1-1/4" - 1-1/2" thick doors. Therefore, if you have a thinner door you would need to make up a set of spacers or shims to fill the gap so you can properly tighten down the screws. The latch cutout dimensions are 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall.

  • Can 2012 Mini Cooper Be Towed With Roadmaster Tow Dolly
  • I checked the owner's manual for towing your 2012 Mini Cooper with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly, Item # RM-2050-1, should be fine. The details were somewhat vague in the owner's manual so check yours for particular instructions because each Cooper model has slightly different features and instructions. This tow dolly includes electric brakes so you will need a brake controller. If you do not have a electric brake controller, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller, Item #...

  • Which Base Plates for 2009 Mini Cooper Are Compatible With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • In order to use your Roadmaster Falcon towbar, you'll need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521878-1, which are a confirmed fit on the 2009 Mini Cooper. If you don't have a tow bar wiring/lighting solution for this vehicle yet, I recommend using the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304 , which are easy to install and can be reused if you end up switching dinghy vehicles at some point in the future.

  • Will the Yakima HandRoll Work to Transport a 57-Pound Kayak on My 2013 Mini Countryman?
  • I have a kayak carrier solution for you. The Yakima HandRoll # Y04082 only comes with the roller portion of the setup. With this 1/2 system, are is no front supports that allow you to mount the kayak. In order to have the full setup, you need the # Y04083-04082 that include the saddles. In order to determine if this system will clamp around your factory crossbars on your 2013 Mini Countryman, I recommend measuring your crossbars. If the height and width of your crossbars do not exceed...

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment for a 2019 Mini Countryman SE All4 Plug-In Hybrid
  • Thanks for reaching out, Mark! The correct trailer hitch to fit your 2019 Mini Countryman SE All4 Plug-In Hybrid is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7387. EcoHitch has confirmed that this will work on the Hybrid versions of your vehicle while Curt says their Hitch # C11522 is not compatible with Hybrid models. I actually prefer the EcoHitch over the Curt anyways just because of the 2" receiver. The larger receiver means you'll be able to use a wider variety of accessories...

  • Is Cable Lock of Yakima Fullback Bike Rack Long Enough to Secure Single Bike
  • Yes the cable lock of the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 is long enough to lock a single bike to it. If you check out the attached review video at the 6:35 mark you can see how easily the locking cable reaches through and around the bikes. A single bike on the rack would not require any additional length as well.

  • Hitch Receiver and 2-Bike Hitch Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Mini Clubman
  • We can assist you with selecting both a hitch receiver and compatible bike carrier for your 2009 Mini Clubman. A hitch-mounted bike carrier is a good choice since your Clubman is not an ideal match for trunk-mount type bike carriers due to its light sheet metal which can be dented by the weight of a loaded trunk carrier. First, for your hitch I recommend the Curt 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch, part # C11387. This hitch can support 200 pounds tongue weight (TW) which is more than enough to...

  • Can 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible Transport 50 lb E-Bike
  • We have solutions that will allow you to carry your 50 lb e-bike but none of the trunk mounted bike racks are rated for carrying more than a 35 lbs bike. So you'd need to have a hitch installed on your 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 and then you'd be able to install and use an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack.

  • We most likely haven't had the opportunity to test fit the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521884-5 on a 2021 Mini Cooper 2dr hardtop base model yet which is why it isn't in our fitguide. Since Roadmaster is endorsing this as a fit for your vehicle then we will have it added to our site. Direct-Connect base plates like this make hooking and unhooking your tow bar super easy. The direct-connect arms are also removable, which will provide a clean look and prevent them from being...

  • Yes. But in order to use the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521883-5 you'll also need the Replacement Base Pins with Chains and Clips for Roadmaster Tow Bars - Qty 2 # RM-910029 to replace the base plate pins on the tow bar.
