Colin: Hey everyone. It's Colin here at Etrailer, and today we have a 2016 Mini Cooper. We're going to do a test fit of the Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack System. Now, this is a roof rack system that will mount to the naked roof of your Hardtop Mini Cooper is going to allow you to get any of your favorite rooftop accessories loaded up here, whether you have a bike rack, kayak carrier, maybe even a small rooftop cargo box.Now up top, we're going to have our 47-inch Long Wing bar, Evo crossbars. These are going to be really nice and durable, and they have a nice aerodynamic shape. That combined with a rubber stripping up top is going to help cut down on that wind noise and drag, especially when you compare it to a standard square or round bar roof rack system.

Now, with this rubber shrivel up top, we can actually utilize T-track accessories.We just flip over the cap like that, and instead of pulling the rubber strip out and cutting it to length for our Tesi accessory, all we're going to do is slide out accessory in between the two strips to our desired location, tighten it down, then we'll be good to go.Now, as you can see, our crossbars are black right now, but if you feel like silver will match your Mini-Cooper better, well, go ahead and check out our website, we have that option available.Now, right here, we have our Evo Clamp feet for naked roofs; his is what's going to connect our crossbars to our roof. You see when you take the End Cap off, we can kind of see the Fit Kit a lot better. This Fit Kit is specially designed for the Mini Cooper. This has a nice rubber coated hook right here, which latches under our door frame.You see it comes under our weather stripping right there That rubber-coated hook's not going to harm or scratch the finish of your Mini Cooper; and we have this nice thick, rubber pad underneath our clamp foot that's going to provide a really nice, solid surface to make contact with and to secure it; and you can see how it matches the contours of our roof very well to ensure a very snug fit.Now I'll put the End Cap back on our clamp foot. Well, you can see is that we have a plastic lock right here.

We can replace that with the Thule Lock Core System, that'll provide more security for your roof racks.No one can just walk up and remove your End Cap and then take your roof rack. Now, I do want to provide you guys with a few measurements. First from the top of our roof to the bottom of our Wingbar is going to be three inches. That should be more than enough space to get your Clamp-on accessories underneath your Wingbar, without risking damaging the top of your roof. Now, if we go from the top of our roof to the top of our Wingbar, it's going to be four inches.

You want to keep that in mind for any low-clearance situations that you have that height added to your roof. Although with the Mini Cooper, you're rarely going to ever find yourself in any low-clearance situation.And as you can see the space under our crossbar is more than enough to open up the sunroof of our Mini Cooper. So we can still utilize that feature if we wish. Now you're going to have a 220 pound weight capacity on your Evo roof rack system, but you do want to make sure you double check with your Mini Coopers Owner's Manual. Make sure your roof can handle that weight.Without even going over most of those features, let's show you guys how to get this installed on your roof.

Now I'll go ahead and show you how to get the rear crossbar assembled to the front and the rear one are going to be the exact same process. So what we have partial
