Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop
Question:
Which is the most affordable option for a 2 bike - trunk rack? Why dont other bike racks work for the mini cooper?
asked by: Annie
Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contacts at Thule and Hollywood Racks and they said they do not offer trunk mounted bike racks for the new Mini Coopers because the hatches are unable to support the carrier weight.
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.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Yakima Top Tube Adapter Bar # Y02531. This product will provide a horizontal top tube for the bike rack to attach to.
