Deborah, you don't mention what year MINI cooper you have (2002 here, yep, still have it :), as you've figured out, trunk racks are not a great option, also a warning i used a trunk rack in an emergency and ended up damaging my hatch (fender turned and hit the car during a rain storm).
Joe points to a special product that installs under the bumper cover, depending on the model you may lose the backup light. i''ve seen others use this, and if you can handle the install or find a local shop to install it, i think it's the cleanest option--though keep in mind that a hitch rack will also have the bike extending out beyond the car, just not at an angle. unfortunately MINIs and bikes aren't great fits, especially if you have fenders as it's nearly impossible to fit even inside the car! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
