view full answer... - What Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Is Needed For a 2012 Mini Cooper S Hardtop?
- Your 2012 Mini Cooper S hardtop will require the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH47FR. This is currently our only aftermarket receiver custom fit for your specific Mini with the center mounted dual exhaust.
I recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is needed to connect to most small trailers you may tow. It can also be used with hitch mounted accessories which require...

- The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521877-1 is our only base plate which fits the 2009 Mini Cooper S hardtop. It will not fit with the sport suspension or John Cooper Works options. This will connect to your tow vehicle using the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 and Crossbar # 910021-00. You may need one of the High-Low adapters to keep the tow bars within 3" of level from vehicle to vehicle. We have a 4" # RM-048-4, 6" # RM-048-6 and 8" # RM-048-8 option to keep the bar...

- Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions.
If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes...

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Mini Cooper
- I have a great hitch for your 2021 Mini Cooper 4 Door. It is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7290. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mini with included hardware. This hitch will NOT fit the S model or the John Cooper works model.
I really like this hitch because it mounts directly behind the bumper. This leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver portion exposed which doesn't drastically affect the already low ground clearance.
I have linked an installation video...

- I am happy to help you find a cargo carrier that will work with your 2005 Mini Cooper, but we do not carry an adapter that is compatible with the Cooper's limited hitch access. From my research your best option is to use a 1-1/4" carrier that is directly compatible with your existing hitch instead of on an adapter.
I recommend the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63155 that has a distance of 1" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the basket. This longer distance will give...

view full answer... - Can EasySnap Mounting Hardware be Retro-Fitted to a Thule Excursion Cargo Box
- The hardware that came with the original Excursion cargo box has plates with holes spaced 4 inches and 2 inches apart on center. You will want to use replacement hardware # TH04997 as the EasySnap hardware is a different size and has been discontinued.
If the box was still under warranty, drilling holes in it would void that warranty. Drilling too many holes will compromise the structural integrity of the box.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Options for 2016 Mini Cooper Convertible
- The 2016 Mini Cooper convertible is not considered a fit for trunk-mount bike racks. There is no way to properly attach the carrier. Yakima, Hollywood Racks and Thule show no fits for your convertible vehicle for a trunk-mount bike rack; only the hard top model has trunk racks confirmed to work.
We DO offer hitch racks that could work. If your convertible is NOT the S Series or the John Cooper Works version you could install hitch # 306-X7290 and then use a lightweight 1-1/4-inch 2-bike...

- The Curt class I hitch you' mentioned, part # C11272 will fit your 2013 Mini Cooper hardtop as long as it isn't a specialty model like the S series or John Cooper Works.
I can not only confirm that you'll be able to retain your spare tire, I can prove it with a photo from the installation instructions showing the hitch installed and the spare tire still in place. Per the instructions, you might need to reposition the tire slightly, but you'll still be able to carry it under the rear of...

The Over-the-Top is specifically designed for hatchback and vehicles that have a spoiler. It reaches over the spoiler securing itself on the top part of your MIni for safer, better mounting point.

- Snice your 2008 Mini Cooper S has the Sport suspension you'll need to use a tow dolly to tow your vehicle behind your Winnebago instead of a standard flat towing setup that uses a base plate kit.
I recommend going with the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 because it comes with surge disc brakes and has the ability to fold which makes storage at home and the campsite much more convenient. This tow dolly comes with brake lights already and a connector for it as well. Since your RV has a 6-Way...

Once done, this should unlock the vehicle's steering wheel. You will also want to be sure to review your owner's manual before you begin to flat tow for any other specific instructions.

- The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # 521877-1, is a confirmed fit to the 2008 Mini Cooper hardtop S unless it has the sport suspension.
The Blue Ox # BX1304 is a fit for the Hardtop Base model, and wouldn't work with S models.
In addition to the base plates, you'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a vehicle wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the 15.5 inch installed height of the # 521877-1 has a greater than 3 inch height...
view full answer... - Is Placing A Cargo Carrier Allowed on the 2010 Mini Cooper R57 Convertible
- I looked up a Mini Cooper owner's manual and it advises against placing any objects on the convertible top, as they would otherwise fall off while the convertible top is being operated and result in damage or personal injury. Please confirm this information with your owners manual.
If your owners manual allows the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S50 on your roof, ensure that your roof measures 36" long x 30" wide to ensure proper fitting.
