Learn in detail how to fit universal roof bars on a Mini (new model). Universal roof bars are used on cars with roof rails (fixed bar secured to the car roof) and without.

Fit the bar mounting kit (as shown in the video) with the bars adjusted according to the width of the car: place the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the pins with the butterfly bolt (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the car's roof rails.

Finally, apply safety caps on both sides.
