Hello Ricky,

Congrats on the Mini! Those are fun cars to drive. Thanks for sending in the pictures. Your lock core is 009 so you will need replacement key # THKEYN009.

Are you looking for any accessories for the roof rack? If so, what are your hobbies?

Hey Kate! Thank you so much for the quick reply. The mini is currently out getting some services! But once I get it back I will be looking into adding a roof box to have som extra space and make use of the roof rack :)

@Ricky My pleasure! They are fun to drive, but they definitely do not have a ton of space so a cargo box would be a great option. The # TH6356B and # INBRA220R-BK would both be a great fit for the Mini. The Thule is 11 cubic feet, and the Inno is 8 cubic feet. After you get your car back and start exploring those options, if you have any questions you know where to find me. Hope you have a fantastic week!

@KateF is there a box you have in mind where I can fit a full size 19in mini tire ? They definitely are short in space in the trunk area ??

@Ricky I am having a hard time to find a cargo box that will not be super long that will give me the width you need. I am showing that a 19" spare for a Mini is 27-29", do you have the spare already? If so can you send me the overall dimension? Another option would be to get a hitch for the mini and use a hitch mounted tire holder like our etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Hitch - 2" Hitch # e98ZR. Do you like that option? If so, can you give me the year and model of the Mini so I can see what hitches we have.
