Bicycle carrier for 2007 Mini Cooper convertible

[EnigmaCat]

I am having trouble finding a bicycle carrier for my 2007 Mini Cooper convertible. Because of the soft top there is no way to attach the top part of a carrier to the roof. Also there is no way that I can see to install a tow hitch. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Right now I have to take off both wheels and stow it the back, but no way to get two bikes in.

There is a removable tow hitch option that fits through the fog lamp assembly, have not seen it locally though, see below:

You actually admitted to driving a Mini Cooper Convertible. Well that's the first step. Now sell the car and buy a real car.

Exactly! That's how I get it in now. The top comes down, take the wheels off, everything goes in back and top goes up.

Thanks, I saw this option, but not available here.

Ok I get the message. Wife is not going to let me sell it. Had to leave the 110 Defender in Kenya when we moved back
