i was wondering if this yakima load warrior rooftop basket would fit using an oem base roof rack system, or if i would need the yakima system as well to make it work. http://www.minicarparts.net/Parts/9173.cfm

the dimensions of the basket are 44" (L) x 39" (w). im curious if that would be to long for the roof of the mini.

if anyone knows of any other type of rooftop basket, preferably a cheaper version, or knows any info on this basket that would answer my questions i would greatly appreciate it. i know iv seen a couple baskets around and i know i cant be the only one who thinks this is too cool/functional to pass.

thanks in advance

BUMP.

I think that would look pretty sweet on a cross-country MINI.

 

The Yakima Basket Case is a smaller and cheaper version and a better fit for the Mini. It will attach to Yakima or Thule crossbars.

 

how about the factory rack crossbars? and in the pic it seems like you can put a bike on it as well. is that possible with just the basket or do you need further attatchments?

thanks for the info no one seems to have done this before or something and info has been hard to come by
