Most Popular Thule for 2016 Mini Cooper

I can't believe I didn't get one of things years ago, makes hanging the girls.ladies bikes off your rack a snap.

I love the bar, it is super sturdy and works perfectly for all of our bikes given the compact frame. I did have my bike on the back of my car with the Thule rack I ordered, and unless it was just super windy that day traveling on the highway, I feel like my bike was swaying while on the bar even though I had the strap between the tires. I have used it since for short trips, but have figured out a way to use the extra strap to run it through the rack and the bike to prevent the bike from pulling away from the car while on the bar.

I really appreciated finding this somewhat difficult part to find. I had parts disappear from my roof rack, not sure if someone took them, or they just fell off, and only needed certain parts. Most stores were only interested in selling me an entire new rack, which wasn't what I was looking for. I will definitely come back here if I need roof rack parts in the future. If parts are needed quickly, I would pay for expedited shipping next time. I didn't need the parts immediately, but they did take a while to deliver, but again, wasn't a problem for me. Thanks again Etrailer!

Local bike shop could not find replacement parts. Thule website did not offer replacements either. Had resigned myself that it was time for a new bike rack. Until etrailer. They had everything I needed, super cheap, and they got here fast. They even called to confirm shipping address. I will buy all my replacements here from now on.
