Expert Answers about Mini Countryman


  • Ground Clearance of Curt Hitch When Installed on 2015 Mini Countryman
  • When we installed the Curt hitch part # C11333 on a 2013 Mini Countryman similar to your 2015 model we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground measured 10 inches. That would mean from the bottom of the hitch to the ground would measure 8-1/2 inches.

  • 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 confirmed to fit your 2024 Mini Countryman. This is a class I custom fit receiver with a 1-1/4" opening for your Ball Mount # C45572 or hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to hitch mounted accessories which impair the view of your tail lights. It is also the most common connector found on small trailers you...

  • 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.

  • Will The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack TH45JV Fit 2022 Mini Countryman With Plastic Spoiler On Hatch
  • As your 2022 Mini Countryman has a rear hatch with a spoiler you will only need to use the included spoiler kit straps that come with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV on your rear hatch. The note mentioned about not using with plastic spoilers is in regards to a car with a plastic trunk spoiler. Don't forget the Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT for any women's bikes or other alternative frame bikes you carry.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Thule Motion XT Roof Box Recommendation for a 2023 Mini Countryman with Raised Rails
  • Thanks for reaching out! According to my information a raised rail rook rack, like the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215, on your 2023 Mini Countryman will measure 52" from the front crossbar to the line where your roof and hatch meet. The Thule Motion XT XXL 22 cu ft # TH629906 requires at least 55" for you to open up your hatch so while this will technically "fit" on the crossbars, I recommend going with the Thule Motion XT XL 18 cu ft # TH629806 instead since it requires 51-1/4" of clearance. The...

  • 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. I have included some links on this basket for you. And for a direct fit, you can use the Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, or MegaWarrior, # Y07080. I have...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains for a 2017 Mini Countryman
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2017 Mini Countryman, traction devices such as tire chains must be Class S compatible, installed on the front two wheels, and only for use on 205/65-16 and 205/60-17 tires. With that being said, I understand certain states require the use of tire chains. Therefore, should you decide to use a set of tire chains anyway, the correct set to fit the 225/80-18 tires on your vehicle are listed in the linked page for you. For a set of tire chains 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.

  • Can The Thule Helium Bike Rack Be Used With An M7 Speed Hitch On A 2011 Mini Countryman?
  • As the Thule Helium Pro Bike Rack # TH9042PRO has a unique hitch pin/anti-rattle device, it requires the pin hole on the hitch to be at least 1.5" back from the end of the receiver opening. The pin hole on the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch # 327-60-160200 on your 2011 Mini Countryman will measure 1.25" back from the receiver opening. Due to this, the Helium cannot be used with this hitch, unfortunately. If you are looking for a light bike rack that is compatible with your M7 Speed...

  • Trailer Hitch Compatibility for 2019 Mini Countryman SE Electric
  • Unfortunately there is not a trailer hitch receiver compatible with the electric model from any of our manufacturers at this time. If you want to carry cargo or bikes a roof rack like the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long # MPG216 is the best option for your vehicle.

  • 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...

  • Will Yakima FrontLoader Fit OEM Bars on a 2018 Mini Countryman and How Many Lock Cores to Lock it
  • Yes! I confirmed with Yakima that the FrontLoader # Y02103 is compatible with the OEM crossbars on your 2018 Mini Countryman. This bike rack uses 2 lock cores for a complete locking system. For this you would want part # Y07202. If you planned on using more than 1 FrontLoader on your Countryman then the Yakima Same Key System also comes in a 4 pack # Y07204, 6 pack # Y07206, and an 8 pack # Y07208.

  • Ski Rack That is Compatible with OEM Roof Rack on a 2014 Mini Countryman
  • I do have a solution for you to carry your equipment on top of your 2014 Mini Countryman but I reached out to my contact at Thule she said that none of their adapters will allow you to use the (discontinued) Universal Flat Top 91725 with the OEM rails on your vehicle. She did say that all of the newer ski/snowboard carriers are compatible with your roof rack crossbars though. If you would like to stay with the Thule brand of things then you would need the SnowPack Carrier which comes in...

  • Will The Yakima FlushBars Y00456-2 Fit A 2021 Mini Countryman?
  • I confirmed with Yakima that the Flushbars # Y00456-2 work as long as you have raised rails on your 2021 Mini Countryman. In addition to the crossbars, you need the feet # Y00158 and the same-key locks # Y07204 for theft-deterrence.
