Available Trunk-Mount Bike Racks for 2014 Mini Cooper Convertible
Question:
Is there a bike rack that will fit my car? I have searched the internet and nothing come up that specifically says 2014.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Your 2014 Mini Cooper Convertible poses challenges to the fit of many otherwise excellent bike carriers including the Thule Passage 2 that you referenced, part # TH910XT.
The absence of a hard roof and the lightweight sheet metal on your Cooper convertible mean that many bike rack manufacturers including Thule and Yakima do not recommend any trunk-mount carriers for your vehicle. Hollywood Racks does show that some of their trunk carriers will work on your Mini convertible, those shown on the link provided. I suggest loading no more than 2 bikes on any carrier on your vehicle to avoid the potential for deformation of the sheet metal.
There are no trailer hitches offered for your Cooper convertible so a trunk-mount is your only option.
