Roof-Rack

Dose anyone have any idea on how to get a roof-rack on a 2015 3 door naked hardtop mini? I don’t believe I can use a OEM rack.

I couldn’t figure out a way to do it on my 2014 and went with a hitch installation instead (for a bike rack).

I did this on my 2014 with naked roof:

Yakima Q-Towers
Q128 clips
48" bar

I re-used my Thule attachments.

Notice I used 2 tow bar attachments as tie downs. The extra tow bar I bought on Amazon but it doesn't work. It only screwed in a couple of turns. If you do this for a tie down, but the extra tow bar from a real MINI source at their higher price.

I don't have a pic currently.. but I bought a Rockbros suction cup dual bike rack off of ebay. Sounds sketchy, I know, but I couldn't bite the bullet and spend 450 for the SeaSucker! I tried researching the RockBros version and only read bashings from people who owned the Seasucker version and not anybody who actually owned the RockBros version. So I said F it and bought it! 7.5hr trip at cruise set at 78mph. no problems! only had to pump one out of the 5 suctions a few times at a gas station during a fill-up. No problems on the return trip either.
