Hi all, does anyone know how tall the OEM roof rack is? We are trying to figure out if our roof box will fit in our garage. Are there any particularly low-profile racks yet available for these cars? Thanks, Ted

 

Talked about new U25 stuff here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ntryman-4.html

Thats the roof rack from the factory and it looks like about 5-6" tall but it hooks on the factory rails. So add another 1-2 inches. Just like the older Countryman F60 set up. Bet its about the same. Part number 82715a50645

Thank you. Looks like it will be close. I will try to find one in person to measure and if good, get through ECS. I have only 16" from the center of the roof to the garage door.

 

Can you measure the distance between the 2 flush rails on your 2025 Countryman? From inside one rail to the inside of the other rail on the other side, please?

 

I'd like to preface this with the fact that I've had roof racks with bike attachments on every car I've owned since 1980! For most of that time I've gone with the major brands as I was able to purchase at a discount through my job. I now have a '25 Countryman and can confirm that the under $200 version sold through multiple sources and ebay and Amazon under description:
2PCS Fits for Mini Countryman Exclusive C U25 2024 2025 Cross Bar Cargo..
does indeed fit. Stable. Not overly noisy. I painted the tip of the outer foot clamp black to match the rest of the rack. These are not the fastest to set up with attachments, but that is usually something you only do once or twice.

Will post pics if anyone is interested.

 

Can the stock OEM roof rack be gotten in all black?

 

Nope, but i have seen people paint them with plasti dip or just paint them in general.
