Countryman Roof Rack Placement

Hi all!

Searched the threads and couldn't find the measurements for the appropriate location to place the roof racks on a Countryman. I bought them 2nd hand without instructions. I hear that the correct placement cuts down on wind noise.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

There may be placement that helps cut down wind noise, but I've tried a few different positions and the difference has been negligible. They're just noisy, that's the way it is. Especially with the moonroof. Mine have a whistle at certain speeds, but at this point I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore.

I was able to obtain the placement measurements from another Miniac @ LXM. I just repositioned them, but haven't driven yet. The sky may fall out any minute so moonroof testing isn't really possible.

For anyone who may read this thread, here's the PDF Manual for installation.

Thanks for the info , here are some more bars that fit like the Rockymounts, which you can pick a color to match your MINI.
