  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Mini Cooper
  • Actually yes, I attached a page that has all of the trunk mounted bike racks we carry that have been confirmed to fit your 2013 Mini Cooper. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. It would be a great choice for you. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005...

  • Trailer Hitch Availability for 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman
  • We do have a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch to fit the 2016 Mini Cooper if you have the Countryman. I checked with Curt and for the 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman (except the S and John Cooper Works versions) their hitch # C11333 is a confirmed fit. Installation is detailed in the linked instructions and video. In a Class I hitch you can use a compatible Class I accessory, such as a bike rack like # VME-V2 from Let's Go Aero. When using any non-wheeled accessory you'll need to use the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Mini Cooper Convertible
  • Since your 2008 Mini Cooper is a convertible you will need to install a trailer hitch in order to carry bikes since a trunk mount can't be used with convertible models. For a trailer hitch I recommend # C11126 since it is the only option for convertible models. I have linked a video showing how the hitch installs. For a bike rack I recommend the Curt # C18085 because it holds the bikes at the wheels and weighs just 46 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this bike rack for you.

  • Will Falcon 5250 Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plates on a 2015 Mini Cooper
  • Yes the Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar is compatible with the Roadmaster EZ4 base plates # RM-521882-4. If you do not already have safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. If you do not already have a lighting solution for your 2015 Mini Cooper then the most popular option is diode kit # RM-15267. Or you could use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level. I have linked a help...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Bikes and Surfboards on a 2019 Mini Cooper 2 door
  • I recommend Yakima aerodynamic bars part # Y01156 which are designed to cut down on wind noise with their design and wind strip on the top and bottom of the bar. You need RidgeLine towers part # Y00145, adapter part # Y03541 and fit kit part # Y06009. The Yakima HighRoad roof bike rack part # Y02114 allows you to carry 1 bike on the roof of the Mini Cooper. The carrier is a no frame contact carrier so it will not damage the frame of your bike. The pivoting wheel hoops hold the bike by...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop 2-Door Coupe
  • The 2015 Mini Cooper hardtop 2-door coupe has confirmed fits for 2- and 3-bike trunk-mount bike racks that you can see on the linked page. Keep in mind that the sheet metal on all Minis and many other smaller cars is fairly thin and with an average bike weighing up to 35-lbs, the total load on your rear hatch can be substantial. Selecting a lightweight trunk-mount rack, and transporting only 1 or 2 bikes, will minimize the chances for any damage to the vehicle's appearance. Among the...

  • Electric Fan and Shroud Recommendation for Radiator that Measures 17 by 22 inches
  • The Flex a Lite Fan with Shroud part # FLX180 matches the dimensions of your radiator pretty close at 21-1/2" wide x 17-1/2" tall and can be used as a pusher fan so it would be your best option. It also can flow 3,300 CFM so your engine will be kept very cool.

  • How to Determine if a Vehicle has a Combined or Separate Blinker/Stoplight Circuit
  • The easy way to determine if your Volt has a two or a three wire system is to check the taillights. If the turn signal is amber in color, you have a three wire system. If your turn signal and brake lamp on each side of the vehicle use the same bulb, you have a two wire system. What you can also do is turn on your blinker and check to see which bulb activates. Now go back and put the brake on. Is it the same bulb that illuminates? If so, then the you have combined. If the bulbs are different...

  • Is Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar a Good Option for a 2007 Mini Cooper Convertible
  • The Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 is a fanstastic option to use for flat towing your 2007 Mini Cooper Convertible. You just need the EZ Base Plate Kit # 521876-1 (which fits the Sport suspension but not the Aerodynamic Package) to connect to the tow bar. To finish out your towing setup I recommend the Combo Towing Kit # RM-9243-1 which gives you wiring, safety cables, and some locks and covers to preserve the life of your towing equipment, as well as the Brake...

  • What Happens to Center Reverse Light When Hitch is Installed on a 2004 Mini Cooper
  • The rear center light of your 2004 Mini Cooper will need to be removed to install the Curt hitch part # C11126. The hole where the light was is where the hitch opening will come out. Check out the install instructions link I attached for more info on how the hitch installs. For trailer wiring you would need the part # 119250KIT, for a ball mount # C45551 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # C45552 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Why Can't A 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works Be Flat Towed
  • The John Cooper Works (JCW) edition of the 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman came with a turbocharged I4 engine. The turbocharged engine also utilizes an intercooler which brings down air intake temperatures. The placement of the intercooler occupies the same space that the base plate would need for installation so unfortunately your only option to tow the vehicle would involve using a tow dolly such as the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1. The Roadmaster Tow Dolly will work perfectly for...

  • How to Connect Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plate Kit

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack For A 2023 Mini Cooper Hardtop
  • When hauling your 2 mountain bikes around with your 2023 Mini Cooper Hardtop I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. Using this trunk mount will let you carry up to 3 bikes on the back your vehicle. The rack has anti-sway cradles that will hold you bike frame at 3 points. This prevent sway and bike to bike contact, and absorb road shock and vibration with its premium TPE padding. The bikes can weigh up to 35 pounds when hauling. You will be limited to 90 pounds though when...

  • E-Bike Solution for 2014 Mini Cooper
  • Since none of the trunk mounted bike racks have the weight capacity for a 50 lb weight capacity you'd have to go with a hitch mounted option as they have higher weight capacities like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. You would need a hitch for your 2014 Mini Cooper like with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 if you have non-center exhaust or part # EH47FR for if you do have the center exhaust. The EasyFold XT not only has the weight capacity but it also has a ramp that pulls out to make...

  • Can a 2017 Mini Clubman JCW Be Flat-Towed
  • The John Cooper Works (JCW) edition of the 2017 Mini Clubman came with a turbocharged I4 engine. The turbocharged engine also utilizes an intercooler which brings down air intake temperatures. The placement of the intercooler is the reason the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1312 will not work for you as they both occupy the same space. Unfortunately, none of our base plate manufacturers (Roadmaster/Blue-Ox/Demco) make a base plate kit that is compatible with the JCW edition therefore your...
