  • 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible Dual Center Exhaust
  • Great news Dave, we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH77FR which is specifically designed to fit your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible. The 1-1/4" receiver will exit just above the dual center exhaust. You will likely need to also install the 4-Way Wiring # C59496 when you install the receiver. This would allow you to connect to a small trailer you might tow and also to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should your hitch mounted accessory impair the view of your tail lights.

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Fit a 2022 Mini Cooper S 4-Door with Manual Transmission
  • Hey Keith! Yes, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521885-4 will work with that style of a 2022 Mini Cooper S with the manual transmission. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.

  • Can the Even Brake Kit Be Powered By the Motorhome 12V Power
  • The Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 just needs 12V power in order to charge and operate. While you technically can power it via the motorhome 12V power I don't recommend doing this because it adds more connections to the mix and a higher possibility for the brake system to not be powered. The best way to provide power to the Even Brake is to use the 12V power port on your vehicle, or to install the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 if the port on your vehicle only powers up when the vehicle...

  • Can I Put A Roof Top Tent On A 2007 Mini Cooper hard Top With A naked Roof?
  • Hello Scott, we do have a 165 lb dynamic capacity roof rack for your 2007 Mini Cooper S naked roof hardtop. For that I recommend the Inno Aero Bar Roof Rack. The full roof rack consists of the following parts: Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB115-2 Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS250 Custom Fit Kit # INK456 That said, I cannot recommend carrying a roof top tent with this roof rack or with this vehicle at all for that matter. This rack uses a fit kit that clamps to the door jambs....

  • How to Connect Tow Bar Wiring to Correct Tail Light Functions on a 2013 Mini Cooper S
  • Thanks for reaching out, Adele! To install the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848 to the correct wires you need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test and confirm the correct functions to connect to. Unfortunately I don't have a pinout diagram of the lights on your 2013 Mini Cooper S so the only way to figure this one out is to test the wires/pins individually and then splice in that way.

  • Roof Rack For 2018 Mini Cooper 2-Door With Bare Roof
  • Hey Aloisia (which is a very cool name btw); thanks for the question and I checked with all our manufacturers and found there is actually only one roof rack that will work on your 2-door 2018 Mini Cooper with a bare roof, but it won't accommodate the Hullavator, I'm sorry to say. The only rack you can add to your Mini is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. These are 48 inch crossbars and will allow you to mount the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 which is 13 inches...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 50 lb E-Bike on Class I Hitch for 2012 Mini Cooper
  • For your application you could look at the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085. This is designed for Class I - III trailer hitches and can carry up to two 45 lb bikes. It does have a 45 per-bike limit. It uses a middle hook to secure the bikes so you don't have to worry about contact to the fenders on your bike.

  • Can 2023 Mini Cooper JCW Be Flat Towed
  • The answer appears to be no. The only company that makes a base plate for the 2023 is Roadmaster and they specifically say no JCW. Check your owner's manual to see for sure but without a base plate you're really out of luck. I tried to find the owner's manual but there are too many variables on the Mini site so couldn't find more specific information. The other thing you could check to see is if you can dolly tow it using the # DM9713045. If not, the only option would be to use a trailer.

  • Solution for Carrying Bike Rack With 2022 Mini Cooper JCW Convertible
  • I do have a solution, but there are no custom fit hitches available for any version of the 2022 Mini Cooper. Since you have the convertible that also rules out a trunk bike rack and a roof rack bike rack. What you can do is take the # E17 to a fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for you. This would allow you to use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B.
