Question:

Hi, I saw that you answered a question by a woman who needed a recommendation for a 2011 mini cooper convertible roadster however I am looking for a bike rack to fit on to my 2011 convertible mini cooper that IS NOT a roadster. I have a four seater. I would like a rack for 2 bikes. Also my trunk door opens at the top and lays down if that helps, also I do not have any special port or hitch to attach a bike rack I would have to use a frame mount unless the racks that you have will somehow attach to my trunk door. If you could send me a link to an example of a rack that will fit my car I would really appreciate it. I am at my wits end:

I did some checking and there are trunk mounted bike racks available that will work on your 2011 Mini Cooper Convertible 4 passenger. I attached a link to a page that has all of these racks listed.

I think the rack that is the most similar to the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack part # TH910XT that you referenced would be the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
