I have a 2009 mini clubman not super charged. I want to purchase these cross bars as I do have factory cross rails on my vehicle. I want the locks with them? Thanks.

The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long # MPG215 are a confirmed fit for your 2009 Mini Clubman. They come with the integrated locks for security.

You may also want to consider a fairing to reduce wind noise. For this application, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 32" Long # RRRF1.
