Hey Rusty, if the roof of your 2017 Mini S Cooper doesn't have roof rails you'd have to go with the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B which uses vaccum cups to attach to the vehicle roof as none of the traditional roof rack options we carry are a fit.

Hi Jameson, Any idea why this wont work? We have sea sucker racks but want something more permanent. Its my wifes car and she doesnt want a receiver hitch so that shoots that option. Just curious as to why this wont work. It's similar to the one I have my honda civic. thanks

@RustyC The manufacturers just don't have something that fits your vehicle unfortunately. I don't know why but I would assume it's a rarer roof setup and the companies just didn't find something for it.
