Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Operation: How to install the compact bike rack on a Mini Countryman.

In this video, we see how to assemble the compact bike rack for a Mini Countryman: It is necessary to have already installed the tow hitch, which in Italy must be installed by a workshop that issues a declaration of correct installation (it is no longer necessary to have the vehicle tested by the MTCTC). No special tools are needed for installation, open the bike rack and remove the mounting arms, then mount them on the support clip. Unlock the clamping lever and rotate it upwards. It is ready for installation; you can lift the bike rack and push the support horizontally over the spherical head, aligning it parallel to the bumper and lowering the clamping lever until it engages, and then lock it. Insert the plug into the bike rack and close it, rotating it 90°, then check that all the lights are working; in some countries, it is necessary to install a license plate holder (also in Italy).
