Thule 9003 raceway platform Bike rack

Hello

I need everyone opinion here, i recently bought a rear bike rack for my MCS 03 (thule 9003 raceway). before i bought it i did check it on the thule website and the fit guide. it shows that it should fit the mini cooper 03. so then i went and buy it last week. the place i bought, they installed the rack for me and said nothing about it. i check the manual that came with it and on the fit guide it doesn't show the mini cooper. i went to the website and i cant find the mini cooper anymore on the fit for the 9003 raceway bike rack. seems to be they revised it a week before i purchased.

my question is do anyone have any exp on thule 9003 raceway platform on the mini cooper. it look stable and secure when its hooked up my MCS. i just want to get anther opinion about it. if i should return it or keep it..


thanks
Michael

Michael,
My name is Nick LeFort and I am the Fit Engineer for Thule.

I can confirm that the Raceway series of racks fits on your Mini Cooper.

The fit was added in June, so it may not have made its way into the in-box fit guide.
But, in checking this morning - it is online.

Sorry for any confusion.

Nick

I am glad to know that it fits. I think the design of it is great, can you post a picture of the raceway platform fitting on your MINI?

Thanks,
Mike
