Hey Fred,

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR doesn't fit convertible models so you'd need to go with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH77FR instead, which is designed for convertibles. If you're planning on towing a trailer then you'll also want to pick up the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 to transfer over your traffic signals to the trailer.

I've attached a link to our installer locator where you can enter in your zip code and find local shops to get your hitch installed.

Hey Fred, how did things go with the EcoHitch for your Mini Cooper Convertible? Were you able to get it installed using one of the local shops from the locator? Your update could make it easier for others with the same model.

@JerredH Yep. Local installer put it in with no problems. My only complaint is the difficulty getting the lock pin in and out as it's behind the body panel. You need to be an octopus to reach behind and secure the pin Otherwise, it works fine. Thanks
