Expert Answers about Mini Countryman


  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2022 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works Edition
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 is confirmed to fit on your 2022 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works edition. I do recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which will allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with a hitch mounted accessory. The 4-way can also be used to operate the lights on a small trailer if you will be towing.

  • Which Cargo Boxes Will Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2017 Mini Countryman
  • As far as physically fitting the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mini Countryman you can use any of the Thule or Yakima boxes. No adapters needed. But you will want to be cautious if you want a box that will not interfere with the rear hatch. For example one of the shortest Thule boxes is # TH614. On this box it measures slightly under 42-5/8 inches from the center of the rear attachment point to the back of the box. What that means is that you will need to have 42-5/8 inches or more from...

  • Will The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7387 Fit a 2019 Mini Countryman ALL4 PHEV?
  • Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7387 will fit your 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman All4 PHEV. This fits all models with the exclusion of the John Cooper Works edition as it has a different style rear fascia the receiver is not compatible with. I do recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 with the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is the most common connector found on small trailers you might tow. It will also allow...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2015 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Countryman to Transport 3 Bikes
  • We have great hitch options for your 2015 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Countryman but since you need to carry more than 2 bikes, you'll need to go with the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver, part # 327-60-160201. This will give you a 2" receiver and a tongue weight capacity of 150 lbs. Then for a bike rack I really like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes, part # KU24FR. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman Model S
  • Thank you for the specifics. Please note that you are only able to flat tow your 2013 Mini Countryman S Model if it is a FWD. According to the owner's manual if you have an AWD it must be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground. With that being said, the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar BX4370 is a great choice and with that you need the Base Plate Kit # BX1308. You should have received safety cables with your tow bar but in the event that you don't have any I recommend part # BX88196 which are...

  • Which Base Plates for Flat Towing for 2014 Mini Countryman S
  • Generally you'll want to choose base plates based off what tow bar you've already got, since base plates and tow bars that are not of the same brand are only compatible with an additional adapter. As far as quality goes, both Roadmaster and Blue Ox make extremely high quality parts, and it's ultimately like choosing between Nike and Adidas. With that said, I do prefer the Blue Ox # BX1308 over the (discontinued) Roadmaster RM-521883-5 for your 2014 Mini Countryman S because the base plates...

  • Can A 2019 Mini Countryman Be Flat Towed?
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312 that you mentioned is actually meant to fit the: - 2016 - 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible - S models - 2015 - 2021 Mini Cooper Hardtop - S models. I did go ahead and check the owner's manual, and it appears that there was a new "Intelligent Safety System" that was added, which is why it isn't recommended to flat tow the vehicle as it could damage the system. So, if you have the ALL4, then it must be transported by flatbed truck only. If you have the...

  • Does Guardian Shield Mounting Bracket Fit Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly
  • Your Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093 should allow you to mount your Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 with the Guardian Shield Mounting Bracket for Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2000-8. Both dollies have 3" x 3" trailer tongues, so it should fit and work fine, but since they have never been tested together I can't say with absolute certainty, but it seems highly likely there won't be an issue. If you don't want to take that chance there is a specific guard for a Kar Kaddy...

  • Recommendation For Draw Bar With Rise That Makes Ball Height 16 Inches On 2018 Mini Countryman S
  • There may be a combination of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, Item # C11522, with a draw bar like the Curt Drawbar - 5 inch Rise, Item # C45014, that will get you the right ball height. To find what you need, start by measuring from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver opening on your 2018 Mini Countryman S All4. Next, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of your coupler. Subtract your hitch height from your coupler height and this will give you the...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Assembly for Flexride BD75450
  • The BD 75450 crosses over to the Dexter # 8-257-5UC3 7 inch hub/drum you'd looked at. The etrailer brand # AKEBRK-2 would be a compatible replacement for your existing brake assemblies. Mounting hardware isn't included. If you don't wish to reuse the existing brake assembly mounting hardware, we offer replacement hardware as part # BRKH7, which provides hardware to install 2 brake assemblies. You'll also want to closely examine the armature surface of the drum that the brake magnets ride...

  • Replacement Wheel Availability for a Malone Micro Sport Kayak Trailer
  • We don't carry the part number you are looking for but I was able to determine that the wheel and tire you are looking for is basically a 4.80-12 sized tire like the # AM10062 mounted to a 12 inch trailer rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that is very similar in appearance like the # LH45FR. We don't have this size tire already mounted on an aluminum wheel. Once these arrive, you can have them mounted at a local shop.

  • Will the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack Clear the Hatch On a 2020 Mini Countryman
  • I don't have direct confirmation of the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack part # TH598004 clearing the hatch on any one particular vehicle as there are just too many variables. That said, I looked up the factory roof rack on a 2020 Mini Countryman and compared this to the length of the carrier and you should be fine.

  • Can the Anti-Rattle Bolt On the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack Be Switched Out
  • The RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # RKY10003 comes with its own threaded hitch pin which also incorporates a lock. This hitch pin cannot be replaced as the thread pitch is specific to the rack. I recommend making sure the bolt is tight using a tool like part # PTW38106-24 as well as all other hardware on the rack. The only other option for reduced movement would be an extra strap like the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2012 Mini Countryman S
  • For your 2012 Mini Countryman S, I recommend the Curt Class I Hitch # C11333. This Class I hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. I also recommend checking your vehicle owner's manual for its specific capacities, as this will likely be the limiting factor. You will just need to follow whichever...

  • Tire Chains, Cables, and Traction Device Recommendations for a 2016 Mini Countryman 225/45-18 Tires
  • The owner's manual for the 2016 Mini Countryman states the following for tire chains: The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended as road-safe and suitable. Information regarding suitable snow chains is available from a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop. Use only in pairs on the front wheels, equipped with tires...

  • Mounting Hardware for Older Yakima FatCat for OEM Roof Rack on a 2012 Mini Countryman
  • If you have the original hardware for the older version of the Yakima FatCat then it will fit directly with the OEM roof rack on your 2012 Mini Countryman. The part # Y8860081 that you referenced is for the Yakima round crossbars so if you are missing the mounting hardware then you need the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 instead. These are compatible both with your older FatCat as well as the OEM roof rack on your Countryman.

  • 2012 Mini Countryman Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation
  • As long as you have a hitch installed on your 2012 Mini Countryman like the part # C11333 the Swagman Titan Bike Rack part # S63410 will work well for you. However, since the hitch for your vehicle is a Class I hitch you would be limited to only carrying 2 bikes on the rack otherwise you would potentially damage the hitch/vehicle and void it's warranty.

  • 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...

  • Can the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch 306-X7387 Be Installed On a Leased 2018 Mini Countryman
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7387 which is a fit for your 2018 Mini Countryman has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs therefore the weight of the bike rack and four bikes cannot exceed 300 lbs. In regards to installation, the rear bumper fascia will need to come off but there is no way around this as it installs under the support beam which is how it is able to retain the hidden design. There is no drilling or cutting required for the rest of the process so it...

  • Will the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit Fit a 1-1/8" Thick Door
  • I do have an option for you but all of our entry door latches like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019 which is what I recommend are for 1-1/4" - 1-1/2" thick doors. Therefore, if you have a thinner door you would need to make up a set of spacers or shims to fill the gap so you can properly tighten down the screws. The latch cutout dimensions are 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall.
