Cabrio trunk mounted bike rack
Has anyone tried a trunk mounted bike rack on a mini cabrio? I have one that seems to fit but I am concerned about the hatch dropping down.:roll:

I have not but I've thought about it. Do you have a picture of how you attached yours?

Trunk mounted bike rack didn't work/Hitch mount decision
I tried it but it didn't work. :no: I think I need to go with a hitch mounted rack. The only question is "which one"? I'm too cheap for the factory one since I cannot use my existing hitch mount with it and the "minidomore" seems some of a pain (removing the bumper).
I found this model: [FONT=Arial]http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...n/CT11176.html[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]They claim that it takes an 1/2 hour to install but you have to drop the rear exhaust and spare tire. [/FONT] |
The MINIDoMore is easy to install -- also about 30-45 (and you don't have to touch the exhaust). . . and do you not have to drop the bumper for the one you linked? I don't know -- I never tried it 'cause it's no good with the MCS.
The nice thing about the MINIDoMore is that it's totally hidden when not in use -- whereas the one you show, I believe hangs below the bumper. |
Check out Bird Automotive. He used my Mini for the prototype and it works great.
