- Recommended Roof Bike Rack for 2023 Mini Cooper S Coupe With Factory Roof Rack
- For a roof bike rack for your 2023 Mini Cooper S Coupe I recommend the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004. This is a frame-mount carrier that features an easy-to-load design. The padded clamp holds your bike by the downtube and also has a torque-limiting dial to prevent any damage to the frame.
The bike rack fits 18" - 36" crossbar spreads so you will need to make sure that matches what you have on your vehicle. The minimum wheel diameter is 20" with a maximum diameter of 29"....

- The Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 80303 provides a 6" extension which is measured from the center of each hitch pin hole. I can't say whether or not this will allow you to mount your bike rack on said vehicle as there are just too many variables unfortunately. That said, all of the racks we offer list the required hitch pin hole depth for bumper clearance. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack part # HLY94FR for example measures 9-1/4" from the center of the...

- For your application we have the 6" Brophy Extension # HES6 or the 10" Brophy Extension # HES0. These will move the hitch pin hole of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11126 on your 2006 Mini Copper further out to make it easier to install your bike rack. I do recommend using an anti-rattle device like the Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 to help reduce any play in the hitch receiver. You can then use a pin and clip # PC2 or a locking hitch pin # e98879 to secure and leave the extension installed on your...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Mini Cooper Carrying an Old Kayak
- The roof rack that you will want to use on your new 2012 Mini Cooper is the Rhino-Rack # RRRS721B. It has a great factory look to it.
You can lay your old kayak directly on the roof rack, but I recommend using some sort of padding such as the Malone Foam Blocks, # MPG152, or an even better option would be a j-style carrier such as Swagman Contour J-Style Carrier, # S65148.
The j-style carrier comes with straps, but the foam blocks do not. If you choose the foam blocks, then you also...

- I have a solution but your vehicle is one of those super rare situations where a bike rack isn't available unfortunately from most manufacturers.
Yakima does not have any such exclusions so I would recommend going with the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. This high quality rack is confirmed to fit your 2015 Mini Cooper. Check out the review video for this rack that I attached also.

- For your 2018 FR3 built on a Ford F-53 chassis there is a connection to install a brake controller located underneath the dash. I attached a picture for you to see where it's located. The correct install harness is # 3035-P.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the...

- For a Roadmaster base plate kit that is compatible with your 2008 Mini Cooper Hardtop S and your Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 you'd want the Roadmaster EZ part # 521877-1.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front...

- At this time the Missouri Department of Revenue website states that all parts of the license plate must be visible and clear for inspection. Law enforcement may find visibility difficult with the Tuf Flat Shield License Plate Cover # CR76200 in smoke. If you are looking for protection of your license plate I would consider the Clear Tuf Flat Shield LIcense Plate Cover # CR76100
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Can 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible Transport 50 lb E-Bike
- We have solutions that will allow you to carry your 50 lb e-bike but none of the trunk mounted bike racks are rated for carrying more than a 35 lbs bike. So you'd need to have a hitch installed on your 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 and then you'd be able to install and use an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202.
I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrying Options for 2012 Mini Cooper Hardtop
- We do have several trunk mounted bike racks that are compatible with your Mini Cooper. You can see them by clicking the link I have provided. Of the available choices, I really like the Thule OutWay, part # T45JV for a 2 bike capacity or # TH56BV for a 3 bike capacity. Rather than the 6 strap and buckle fastening arrangement used by other racks, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber-coated straps making installing and removing the rack ridiculously simple. This rack also includes locks for the...
view full answer... - Single Bike Rack that Can fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Hitch with Higher Weight Capacity.
- The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR that you referenced is a single bike rack with a 60 capacity that can fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches so it would work great for you. If you were in need of a hitch for your 2012 Mini Cooper we have the Curt # C11272 which would fit and work great.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Roof Mounted Bike Carrying Option for 2021 Mini Cooper 3 Door Hardtop
- For the 2021 Mini Cooper 3 door hardtop, SeaSucker has a roof rack application that would work great for carrying up to 3 bikes. You'll want to go with their Bomber Bike Rack, part # 298-BB3008. The unit uses a total of 8 vacuum cups to attach to the vehicle roof.
I'll admit, when we first started carrying SeaSucker products, I was pretty skeptical about using suction cups to attach an accessory to a vehicle. The vacuum cups are truly legit, with each have a pull rating of 210 lbs (it...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mini Cooper Convertible that Allows Storing of Rear Spare
- For your 2017 Mini Cooper Convertible the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 is a confirmed fit and would work great. It does not require the permanent removable of the rear spare to install either. For trailer wiring the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT is a really great option that installs without splicing into the taillight wiring like other options.
I attached an install video link for the trailer hitch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Needed Items to Flat Tow 2007 Mini Cooper
- For a 2007 Mini Cooper S Model, there is only one option, the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # 521877-1. For a tow bar, I suggest the Roadmaster Falcon 2, # RM-520. This hitch-mounted tow bar has stainless steel, telescoping arms that automatically lock into place and its large hookup radius allows you to connect without the need to perfectly line up your vehicle; this makes connecting and disconnecting so much easier.
You will need safety cables, I recommend the Roadmaster 80" Coiled...
view full answer... - How Do I Determine What Wires On The Taillights Are the Correct Wires To Connect The Tekonsha ZCI?
- The best way to know for sure is by using a Test Light # PTW2992. You can disconnect the taillight harness on your 2012 Mini Cooper and use the test light to confirm the correct wires for your vehicle. Simply connect the alligator clip of the test light to a suitable ground. Then while having someone operate the signals and brakes you can determine which wire controls each function at the connector.
Once you have identified all of your wires then you will be able to install the ZCI Circuit...

- The first thing you need to flat tow your 2019 Mini Countryman is the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1312 that you referenced which fits the manual transmission models.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

view full answer... - 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.
