Expert Answers about Mini Clubman


  • Can You Manually Lockout an Electric Reverse Lockout Brake Coupler
  • I have a solution for you if you have drum brakes, but I spoke with my contact at Titan and he did not have a recommended way to manually lock out a trailer brake actuator that has an electric reverse lockout. The best thing you can do is get some free backing trailer brakes. These brakes allow your trailer to back up without activating the brakes, even if your trailer does not have a reverse lockout. Since I do not know what size brakes you have I attached a page that has all of the different...

  • Tow Dolly for 2016 Mini Clubman S With Low Ground Clearance
  • There won't be any problems towing your 2016 Mini Clubman S on a tow dolly, even with its low ground clearance at the rear. The vehicle's rear axle and wheels are very far back, so it isn't going to tilt downwards enough to cause issues over flat pavement, though over speed bumps, if it is raised up enough, it could of course hit the ground, and unfortunately there really isn't any way to overcome that type of obstacle. If you do choose to dolly tow, the best options by far are the Demco...

  • Will Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2010 Mini Clubman
  • I checked with Yakima and the RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, is listed as a fit for the 2010 Mini Clubman with factory roof rack. To check for any interference at the rear of the box you will need to take one measurement. With the front crossbar as far forward as it can go (if it can be moved) measure from the center of it straight back to the seam between the roof and rear hatch/door, or to an antenna. If you come up with 45 inches or more then the box will not interfere with anything. I...

  • Replacement SpeedKnob for Yakima LiteRider Bike Rack
  • I do have an option for you but the Yakima LiteRider Bike Rack does not use a SpeedKnob. The SpeedKnob is for newer Yakima Hitch Bike Racks and is a bit different than the locking mechanism for the Yakima LiteRider. I know this is not what you are going to want to hear but I am afraid the only way to replace the locking knob on the Yakima LiteRider and get it back up and running is with a new mast/shank, the Replacement Mast with Anti-Rattle Knob and Adapter Sleeve part # 8890343. Again,...

  • For your Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier part # FHG69ZR you would want the part # 63232 which doubles as a hitch lock and anti-rattle device which will take unwanted movement out of the setup.

  • How to Use Custer Wireless Tow Bar with RV that has 6-Way Round
  • The 4-way round connector is very rare and the 6-way round is somewhat common but more rare than 4-way flats and 7-ways so what that means is that we don't have an adapter for your configuration but I have a similar solution. We have a version of the Custer Wireless Tow Bar Light that uses a 7-way blade with the part # LIW-LDTL-7B which we do have adapters for like with the # 337TC1067P which plugs into your 6-way and converts to same connector as the tow bar.

  • Will the Bargman Triple Tail Light # 47-84-005 Fit a 2016 Mini Winnie RV
  • Trailer lights, like the Bargman Triple Tail Light # 47-84-005 that you referenced, are universal fits so it is just a matter of making sure that you have enough room on your 2016 Mini Winnie RV for them to install. The Triple Tail Light measures 14-1/16" long x 6-15/16" wide x 1-1/4" thick. For the wiring you just need to ground the White wire to a clean, bare-metal surface, and then connect the wires for each of the lights to the appropriate circuits. I have attached a review video...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Mini Clubman with Naked Roof
  • Thule and Yakima roof rack parts are not interchangeable and since at this time (August 2019) Yakima does not have a roof rack solution for your 2018 Mini Clubman with a naked roof the best solution you have is a Thule roof rack that consists of part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145006. This is a really great roof rack option that you'll be happy with. It installs easily, has minimal wind noise due to the aero shape of the bars, and is widely considered to be the nicest and best...

  • Can Curt Hitch C11130 Be Fitted to 2011 Mini Clubman and 2010 Cooper S Series
  • The Curt Class I hitch you referenced, their part # C11130, is a fit for the Mini Cooper S (the non-convertible version) but not for the 2011 Mini Clubman. The correct hitch for the 2011 Clubman is their hitch # C11387, which is also a Class I type. Curt designed two different hitches because the attachment points and clearances under the two vehicles are different. No one hitch will fit both the 2010 Mini Cooper S and the 2011 Clubman. Hitch # C11130 will fit both the 2007 S Series non-convertible...

  • Recommended Solution to Carry Bikes on 2020 Mini Clubman
  • I have a solution for you to carry bikes on your 2020 Mini Clubman, but the Thule Camber Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9058 requires a trailer hitch on the rear of your vehicle; I'm not aware of an aftermarket hitch that is available to fit on the 2020 Mini Clubman. For this reason, the only option to carry bikes on your Mini Clubman would be with a roof rack and roof rack mounted bike carrier. The correct roof rack system for your 2020 Mini Clubman will depend...

  • When Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind a Motorhome How Close to Level Should Tow Bar Be
  • When you're flat towing a vehicle, you want the tow bar to be within 3 inches plus or minus of level. If you're outside that range, you can use a High Low adapter to get you in range. Ideally, you'd be as close to level as possible, but as long as you're within 3 inches one way or the other, you should be fine. If you need a high-low adapter I've linked our selection. The most popular is part # RM-076 from Roadmaster. I've also linked an article to help you determine how much rise or...

  • Using a Stabilizer Strap with a 2017 Mini Clubman 2 Door Hatch
  • Curt does require use of a stabilization strap for their Class I Hitches. Normally, you'd use a Stabilizing Strap like part # 18050 but like many hatchback vehicles, you're running into a simple problem that is easy to fix. For this, you'll want to purchase part # Y02612 , a set of Yakima Glass Hatch adapters. This part will give you an alternate location to hook the stabilizing strap to that will evenly apply pressure to the padded security bar, removing the need to mount the support...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Mini Clubman 2012
  • For a 2012 Mini Clubman the recommended hitch is the Curt # C11387 which is a confirmed custom fit. This also fits 2011 model. This hitch has a 2,000 lb towing capacity which you'd need to stay under that weight and the towing capacity for the vehicle listed in the owners manual. I attached an install video for this hitch as well. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45552 and for trailer wiring part # C59236.

  • Roof Cargo Box Fit Recommendation for a 2012 Mini Clubman with Factory Crossbars
  • I have a great similar solution that I can recommend, but I checked with Inno and they do not have any cargo boxes that are confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Mini Clubman with factory crossbars. The Thule Pulse Medium part # TH614B is a very similar box that Thule does list as a fit that would work well for you. It also has a gloss black finish with two more cubic foot of storage space at 14 feet. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • How Much Ground Clearance Does the Curt Hitch C11524 For a 2017 Mini Clubman Provide
  • I spoke with Curt about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11524 for your 2017 Mini Clubman S and they informed me that the receiver tube sits right up underneath the bumper. The distance from the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the receiver tube is 2". That said, I don't have any distances from the ground because this can vary by trim level and how much of a load is in the vehicle. I have attached an install photo for you as well.
