  • How To Use Demco Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
  • I looked up to see what base plates you have on your 2017 Mini Cooper. You have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-521884-5. To use your Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar, # DM9511012-BX all you need to do is swap out the removable arms on your base plates with the Universal Tow Bar Adapter for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplates, # RM62ZR. Swapping out the arms with these will actually allow you to use a Blue Ox, or Curt tow bar as well.

  • Availability of Base Plate Adapter For Towing 2003 Mini Cooper Using A Demco Tow Bar
  • No worries. You can use the Blue Ox # BX1303 tow bar, and then use a # BX88178 adapter. The adapter will allow your Demco Aluminator, Excali-bar or Kwik-Tow towbar to work with the Roadmaster base plates. To complete your flat towing system, you'll also need safety cables like # RM-643. You will also need a lighting solution so the lights on the towed vehicle work in tandem with those of the RV. Custer offers a simple wireless solution, part # LIW-LDTL. The fact that absolutely no cutting...

  • Hitch Availability for 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible
  • You are correct that currently there is no hitch receiver offered for the 2006 Mini Cooper S convertible. This could simply be due to limited volume - hitch makers do consider the business potential of any given vehicle based on the number of units produced. Some times the engineering investment may not be offset by the business potential. In other cases, particularly on smaller lighter vehicles whose frames may not have enough strength to handle a hitch-mounted load, hitch makers may determine...

  • Hitch Extender for Blue Ox Tow Bars
  • I may have a solution for you but we do not have the Blue Ox hitch connection extender BX84-0047. But if you are needing to extend your tow bar further out from your motorhome you can use the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # BX88265 for a 6-3/4" or 8-3/4" extension. Or the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # BX88264 for a 12" extension. Both of these extenders are rated for 10,000 lbs. but they will cut the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. They will work just fine for...

  • Hitch Availability for 2014 Mini Cooper Convertible S
  • None of our primary hitch manufacturers, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch or Curt, offers any trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit the 2014 Mini Cooper Convertible S version. In fact this version of the Mini Cooper has no hitch fits for prior years either. If your intention is to transport bikes we do still have a solution for you. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Mini cooper Convertible and can transport up to 3 bikes. This sturdy steel...

  • 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...

  • 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...

This rack is shown in the linked video. With it you can use hitch lock # S64029 and bike cable lock # e98891. The linked articles on hitch...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2014 Mini Cooper S with Naked Roof
  • I have a solution for you to add a roof rack to your 2014 Mini Cooper S, but the Yakima Roof Rack Kit that uses parts # Y00421, # Y00145 and Y06009 is not going to work with your bare roof. The only option available for your Mini Cooper is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B, but this is a great option that allows you to easily install and remove your roof rack. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars have durable vacuum cup mounts that won't damage your vehicle, but are still extremely strong, and...

  • Do You Have a Blue Ox Base Plate Which Fits a 2008 Mini Cooper S Hard Top?
  • I have some good news and some bad news. First the bad news is Blue Ox does not currently manufacturer a base plate for your 2008 Mini Cooper S hard top. The good news is you can combine the Roadmaster Base Plate # 521877-1 with the Adapter # BX88178. This will allow you to then connect to a Blue Ox Tow Bar # BX7420. You will need a Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit # RM-152-LED-7 and Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 to fully prepare your Mini for flat towing. Please let me know if you...

  • Available Accessories for 2019 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works Edition
  • The trailer hitches offered for the 2019 Mini Countryman, shown on the linked page, specifically exclude fit on the John Cooper Works versions. But on the other linked page you can view other products we do have for your specific Mini. These items include roof racks such as the unique SeaSucker Monkey Bar vacuum cup racks like # 298-SX6000B which is installed and removed quickly and easily thanks to this rack's powerful vacuum cup attachment system that gives you the roof rack you need...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2014 Mini Cooper Hatchback
  • None of our hitch manufacturers offer a hitch for the 2014 Mini Cooper. If you were wanting to carry bikes, there are some available bike rack models that would strap directly to the vehicle hatch. Due to the relatively thin metal used on the body panels, I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Model, part # HRF2. The rack uses an extra foot that spreads the weight of the rack and the bikes more evenly over the surface of the vehicle. I have linked you to a product demonstration...

  • Parts Needed to Fabricate Coiled 7-Way RV-Style Trailer Extension Cable
  • We do offer various lengths of 7-way RV-style trailer wiring extensions that are shown on the linked page. These all have a vehicle socket on one end and a trailer plug on the other, such as with part # TLW6048 from TorkLift. None of these extensions has a coiled-type cord as found on adapters like # HM47053. However, I do have a solution for you, which is to use one of the available lengths of the WesBarg RV-style coiled cable to fabricate your cord. We offer their 6-foot # WG54006-043...

  • Is Class l Ball Mount Available With 6-Inch Rise
  • The biggest rise we offer in a 1-1/4 inch ball mount is 5-3/8 inches, and that is part # C45028. This ball mount is a Class l and also features a 5-9/16 inch drop. This ball mount is rated for a gross towing capacity of 2,000-lbs. The hitch pin and clip I recommend is part # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40001 and for a 2-inch ball I recommend part # C40018.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2015 Mini Cooper and 2010 Buick Enclave
  • For a trunk mounted bike rack that fits both your 2015 Mini Cooper and your 2010 Buick Enclave the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 would be the way to go. This rack is very sturdy and is a very nice rack. I attached a review video for more info as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Mini Countryman
  • Yes, we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 which is custom fit for your 2024 Mini Countryman. This will give you a class I receiver for a Ball Mount # C45572 or hitch mounted accessory. I recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connection which is the most commonly used connector for small trailers. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessory which...

  • Availability of Roof Cargo Basket that has Spare Tire Attachment
  • I have a similar solution I can recommend for you, but we do not have a spare tire mount for the Curt Cargo Basket part # C181115 that you referenced. Instead you would need the Yakima cargo basket part # Y07070 with the spare tire carrier # Y07076.
