Your video answered ALL my Qs re: a MINI-branded roof rack for my 2019 Countryman. BLESS YOU! 🙏

I've been searching for my Mini roof base manual (Model: 82-71-2-148-014) to no avail because I needed the measurements for installation. Thank you for making a really detailed video and including the manual in .pdf format in your description.

Excellent video and covered everything one would need to know about this rack. I just picked up a new 2014 Countryman and the dealer did not have a set of the roof rails in stock, but had one on a showroom display car. They sold me that one, but it came with NO instructions or other paperwork. Thanks for creating this and posting the PDF of the owner's manual - saved me a trip back to the dealership.

@shrocky2 Thanks for the response. I can tell you from experience driving my old Mini Cooper that the whistling is coming from the roof rack (the faster you go the louder the whistling), I picked up a Thule Fairing and it took care of the whistling. I would just pop the fairing on when I don't have my paddleboard on the rack.

Sounds like Edward Norton! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks very much mate. Very informative!

Thank you!

Thanks for the video! How secure is the rack once it's installed? I see that it's just an allen screw connecting the rack to the rail. I used to drive a Mini Cooper and the racks were actually bolted to the car. Traded-in the Mini Coop for the Countryman. Also I saw the manual says take out the rack when not in use, do you leave it on?

Do you have any problems with the sunroof opening with the screws hanging down. Love my Countryman.

Thanks for this video, very helpful. Do you know what the load capacity is on the roof rack. I can't seem to find this information. I want to know if I can carry two kayaks up there.

[@chris69101]

Doubt it. But with them longer bolts. Does the sun roof still have clearance to open?

[@derekkerr6928]

What is the connector called for that went from the mini cooper rack to the thule rack? I bought a mini that had a rack on it and had a thule rack that had different connectors on my last car.
