Hey Eric. I guess you could say the installation process is different on a 2017 Mini cooper S convertible. The EcoHitch item # EH87FR you were looking at only fits the hardtop models. For your convertible you'll need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # EH77FR. I do not have an installation video for it.

Please note that the item # EH77FR hitch only fits models with center-mounted dual exhaust.

What are you planning on using a hitch for?

@Eric That's great! Do you already have a bike rack?

it looks like you offer a bike rack that can be used on the luggage rack receiver on the Mini Cooper S convertible. Do you have any specks on that?

@Eric Not that I am aware of. As far as I know the only bike racks we have for a 2017 Mini cooper S convertible are hitch mounted. Do you have a part number on that?
