2015 Mini Cooper S Convertible Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Options

Question:

A tough one: trunk mounted rack possible? Was hoping for a hitch mount above the dual CENTER exhaust, but that’s proving to be a pricey move.

There are actually a wide range of racks available that will fit your 2015 Mini Cooper S Convertible, provided it has a hardtop.

The Yakima FullBack, part # Y02633 is the standout option among all available racks for your vehicle, as it includes all security features integrated into the rack, and installs quickly and easily onto most vehicles.

For the Mini Cooper S, if you have a wing-type spoiler, you can remove the straps and route them under this spoiler prior to installing the rack. This will help protect the vehicle's look and allow for slightly quicker installation. Remember to uninstall the rack between uses, as it can gradually damage the headliner of the vehicle if it remains installed.

I've included a video review of this rack so you can get familiar with the rack's features and performance.
