Roadmaster's EZ Twistlock series brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.
Features:
The drawbars, or front arms, on the EZ series base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Roadmaster's EZ Twistlock series brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.Installation is a bit involved but worth every second of it for the peace of mind while driving. Had a slight issue with my ordering incorrect parts but these guys went above and beyond to get it resolved in time to not miss my trip. Even rush manufactured them due to not being in stock!! Great company to do business with.
my baseplate was delivered on time and in great shape.
Very well constructed. Fitting right side took some adjustment, I had to clearance the lower member hole in order to fit the bolt.
I installed the base plates myself, after the prospective mechanic claimed this was the incorrect fitment. Subsequent calls to Roadmaster produced a "No Fit" pronouncement, in spite of the lookup and even the printed instructions. Undaunted, I proceeded, and the fit was successful. YES, this DOES fit a 2007 Mini Cooper S Convertible.
Installed on 2005 mini cooper convertible. Choose this base plate for our mini since it provided highest attachment height for tow bar (12 inches off ground, only requires 3 inch drop from back of RV), and attaches to mini frame more substantially that blue ox. Installation directions are nearly perfect, we had to widen holes on passenger side to line up with frame. Modification was approved by Roadmaster.
Received the base plate and EZ removable crossbar for my 2002 Mini Cooper. Just finished the installation which was pretty difficult probably because there is not much clearance underneath the car. As much as I tried there was no way to install the included U bolts. I also had to trim the backing plates for the frame support (directions indicated that might happen) as well as about 1/8” from the tip of the two forward facing frame bolts in order to get the base plates mounted. Not fun mind you. The drivers side base plate fit perfectly once the trimming was completed. The passenger side was (or still is) a bear as the two rear bolt holes on the flat part of the base plate we off by about a 1/4”. I was able to finally get the forward most bolt installed but still need to open up the rear hole a tad bit more. I’ll tackle that later after all my cuts and scrapes heal. Hopefully, not using the U bolts won’t be an issue.
Base plate system and roadmaster tow bar work great, we have made 2 cross country trips towing our Mini Cooper and have not had any problems, would highly recommend it for trouble free travels.
Great product, price and service. Not the easiest to install. Only Roadmaster base plate that required that the bumper be trimmed but Minnie is very low to the ground.
Worth the installation headache. Not really a headache just a little more work than originally thought. Easy install and removal.
Good buy.
I had some questions prior to ordering, called in and the sales staff were very well informed. I received the hitch plates within 5 days. Took about 2 hours to install. Very pleased with everything.
Shipping was super fast and arrived without damage. I am not ready to install it yet but if it's like the roadmaster tow bar it should be high quality.
The instructions were excellent as is the product quality. With very little effort I was able to install these on my Mini Cooper in less than 1 hour. With only my garage area (no lift) and minimal hand tools the installation was very easy and the end result looks and performs great.
I will open the box when the rest of the delivery is compleat , please keep me updated, thank you
Rock solid unit and works like a charm. Totally recommend it.
I absolutely love my eTrailer purchase. Much better price than through any dealer. Directions were clear and easy to follow. And I did the installation all by myself. Thanks eTrailer.
Excellent and fast service!
Came as promised!
I was totally satisfied with the product and your customer service! Thanks for the follow up.
