How to Determine the Tail Light Wire Functions on a 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible
In order to determine the wiring functions behind the tail lights of your 2006 Mini Cooper you will need to use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed. You will have someone sit in the vehicle and run through the turn signal, brake, and running light functions while you test the wires. I know that on a 2005 model the wires are purple for running lights, black with green tracer is brake lights, and blue with green tracer for left turn signal. On the passenger side the blue with tan tracer is t

Curt Trailer Hitch and Thule Vertex Bike Rack Compatibility with a 2006 Mini Cooper Convertible
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11126, and the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Rack, # TH9028, will fit on your 2006 Mini Cooper convertible as long as it is not an S series. If you have an S series, then we do not have a trailer hitch that will fit on your vehicle. We have installed this trailer hitch on a vehicle similar to your vehicle so I attached the installation instructions and an installation video for you to check out. I also attached instructions and a demonstration video of the Thule Verte

Recommendation of Trunk Bike Rack To Fit a 2006 Mini Cooper 3 Door Hatchback
The Thule Raceway Platform-Style Bike Rack, part # TH9003, you have referenced, will fit on your 2006 Mini Cooper, however, it is a heavy rack, about 115 lbs fully loaded, and can potentially damage your rear hatch if the bike rack is installed too tightly with a heavy load. Trunk mounted bike racks are not designed to damage your vehicle if they are installed correctly and used within capacity. For a trunk mounted bike rack I recommend using the Thule Raceway 2 Bike Rack, part # TH9001. This

Emergency Snow Tire Chains for a 2006 Mini Cooper
The Glacier Emergency Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains for Heavy Trucks, are not recommended for your 2006 Mini Cooper. I have attached a link to all of the snow chains that are available for your 205/45-17 tire size. I would recommend the Thule CB12 standard snow tire chains, # TH01221080, for your Mini, if the owners manual states that snow chains can be used on your vehicle, check to be sure. I have provided links to some information on snow chains that should be helpful also.

Is the Small Roof Adapter, # TH487, Necessary to Install a Roof Rack on a 2006 Mini Cooper
To install a roof rack on a 2006 mini Cooper, it is recommended that you use the Small Roof Adapter, # TH487. The reason is that the rear fit kit pieces have nothing to attach to because of the distance between the cross bars. The adapter gives the support the cross bars and side rails need. The other components to complete a roof rack system for your Mini Cooper are: Thule Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack, # TH480 Thule Load Bars - 50 Inches Wide, # THLB50 Thule Roof-Rack Fit Kit for Traverse

How the Curt Trailer Hitch Installs on a 2006 Mini Cooper and is Any Trimming or Cutting Needed
The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11126, will fit all model Mini Coopers EXCEPT the S series. You will not have to cut or trim any visible part of the bumper. The hitch will fit, more or less, around the stock parts on your 2006 Mini Cooper, but you may need to trim a small portion of the opening at the back of the vehicle for the fascia to fit back on the vehicle correctly once the hitch is installed, see instructions link. There are several specific steps that need to be taken to complete installat
