  • Does the EcoHitch Interfere w/ the Tailgate Sensor on a 2019 Mini Countryman?
  • I checked with EcoHitch and our installers and it does not look like there have been any issues with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7387 interfering with the tailgate sensor on the 2019 Mini Countryman. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mini with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" x 2" receiver exposed. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item...

  • What Vehicles Does The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7387 Fit
  • The EcoHitch # 306-X7387 is specifically designed for the 2019 Mini Countryman, it won't fit any other vehicles. Also, from looking at the installation instructions, it looks like there are some cutting and modifications necessary for the installation that you most likely wouldn't want to do on a leased vehicle. However, the Curt Class I hitch # C11522 which has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver opening won't require any permanent modifications, isn't really any less concealed than the EcoHitch...

  • Will the Yakima RocketBox Fit the Factory Crossbars on a 2013 Mini Countryman
  • The Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, part # Y07192, is a great cargo box and should definitely fit your factory crossbars as it fits factory crossbars. However, just to be sure, you will need to measure the distance for the center of one crossbar to the center of the other to find its spread. The RocketBox can fit crossbar spreads between 24" - 40". If your spread does not fall within that range, then let me know and I will find a better cargo box for you. I've linked to a video review of the...

  • Bike Rack For Class I Hitch on 2018 Mini Countryman JCW for Rear Cargo Access
  • I can help you find a bike rack to fit the Class I Curt Hitch part # C11522 on the 2018 Mini Countryman JCW. You can only carry 2 bikes at a time on a Class I hitch because they have a lower tongue weight rating. The Curt Hitch for your vehicle can handle up to 200 lbs. I checked with Curt and this hitch does fit the JWC model. We do not have any cradle mounted hanging bike racks that fit a Class I hitch that allow you to tilt the bike rack away for rear cargo access with the bikes still...

  • Is There A Flat Towing Solution For A 2019 Mini Countryman?
  • Yes the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 does in fact fit the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312, and would work just fine with a vehicle weighing 3,400lbs, however the base plate # BX1312 you mentioned is only designed to fit the: -2016 - 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible - S models, & - 2015 - 2021 Mini Cooper Hardtop - S models.

  • Will 2 Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers Fit on 2015 Mini Countryman OEM Roof Rack
  • Since the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD has a single clamp that goes around the crossbars you just need to make sure there is enough room to fit your kayaks side by side so the middles of each boat are over your crossbars. As long as you're able to do that then you can mount the SeaWings just fine. The Stinger Load Assist # MPG350 is 10-1/2" wide so in order to use that you need the middle of your boats to be 5-1/4" in from the edges of your crossbars. If that...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Mini Countryman with Dual Exhaust
  • For the 2014 Mini Countryman with dual exhaust, you can install the Curt # C11333 as long as you do NOT have the John Cooper Works version. I attached the installation instructions and an installation video for you. The Curt warranty requires you to use support strap # 18050 with any non-trailer load, such as a 2-bike rack or cargo carrier like # C18145 or # C18085.

  • 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...

  • Which Roof Mount Cargo Baskets Fit the 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman with Factory Crossbars
  • Many baskets will not have a specific vehicle fit list so that is why you do not see your vehicle listed. But I will be happy to make some suggestions for you. First, to determine if the Thule basket fits, you will need to measure your crossbars. The basket will fit on bars that are spread between 20 inches and 37 inches apart on center.

  • As you are already pulling your rear fascia on your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman S the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7334 is a great option. The 2" receiver option gives you a larger assortment of ball mounts and receiver mounted accessories to select from.
