Is Placing A Cargo Carrier Allowed on the 2010 Mini Cooper R57 Convertible
Question:
Will it work and fit on a 2010 mini cooper r57 convertible?
asked by: Becky S
Expert Reply:
I looked up a Mini Cooper owner's manual and it advises against placing any objects on the convertible top, as they would otherwise fall off while the convertible top is being operated and result in damage or personal injury. Please confirm this information with your owners manual.
If your owners manual allows the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S50 on your roof, ensure that your roof measures 36" long x 30" wide to ensure proper fitting.
If your owners manual does not allow placement of anything on your roof, a great alternative is installing Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11160 along with the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63155 and etrailer Cargo Bag # e98990.
Curt Class I 1-1/4" hitches require that you use a stabilizing strap # 18050 to ensure that the hitch does not experience excessive torque while transporting your gear.
