SeaSucker Ski/Snowboard Carrier for a 2016 Mini Cooper with a Bare Roof?

Question:

Will the Inno Dual Angle Ski/Snowboard Carrier work on a 2016 Mini Cooper 3-door hatchback with a bare roof? It looks as if it will at half the cost of a Thule system.

I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Inno that there is not a fit kit that is compatible with your 2016 Mini Cooper Hatchback (bare roof) that will allow you to attach the Inno Dual Angle Ski and Snowboard Carrier.

However, if you are trying to find an economic solution that won't require breaking the wallet by investing in a full roof rack system, I recommend the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards # 298-SK2425. Instead of buying an entire roof rack system for a crossbar-mounted ski/snowboard carrier, the SeaSucker carrier comes with everything you need for transport. It also involves one of the easiest/fastest installations out of any accessory we carry here at etrailer.
