2025 Mini Countryman Roof Rack Recommendation for Flush Rails

Question

Question:

Hi I have a 2025 Mini Countryman and Im trying to use the vehicle or but it doesnt seem to be showing correct roof racks. My car has flush mount rails, but the suggestions are for raised rails instead. Is there another model I can use that may show more correct products?

Hey Anderson, thanks for reaching out!

I have a fit from Yakima that works for the flush rails on your 2025 Mini Countryman, and it includes these parts:

- 50" Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- SightLine Towers # Y64AR
- SightClip Fit Kit # Y24AR
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)

I've attached a photo that Yakima took when they tested this fit. What are you planning on using the roof rack for?

Hi Jon thanks for the reply. I have a Yakima box that mostly will carry a few snowboards, and also 2 bike racks (though I might switch that to a trailer hitch mount instead) but honestly I was hoping for a cheaper solution. I had an oem setup on my last car that was about 350 so the cost of that setup is a bit shocking!

@AndersonE Aftermarket roof rack systems can be a bit more expensive than OEM, but I will say they tend to have better quality. Yakima is one of the leading brands but for something a little more mid-road we have the Inno roof rack which consists of the following: - 51" Aero Crossbars # INXB130-2 - Through Feet # INXS450 - Fit Kit # INTR142 Does your Countryman already have a hitch installed on it?

@JonG Gotcha makes sense. Yeah I already have a trailer hitch installed but was hoping not to spend more money on a new box since I already have one

@Jong I definitely get where you're coming from in regard to the price of the roof rack. Unfortunately there aren't any more cost-effective options that fit your Countryman though. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR as a mid-range bike rack, or the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR for more of an entry-level rack.

Answer 1

The anchor plates that fit into Yakima roof tracks are the part #Y8810074 which is 3/4 inches wide. This is the same width as the anchor bolts of the #Y01162 which is designed to fit Yakima crossbar top channels. So the #Y01162 would work well…

The Yakima SightLine Towers #Y64AR and RidgeLine Towers #8880624 are very similar. The main differences is the SightLine is slightly shorter by 1/2" at 3" tall. Also the SKS Locks #Y07204 is hidden behind the outer cover on the SightLine…
