Does this fit 2012 Mini easily? Is there any noise? Is there a lock system on it? If not, can it be purchased separately?

Sorry, forgot to mention that each side of each rail comes with a key lock so when the box is installed, you can't slide it off.

Fits perfectly as it is an original genuine part. I had Mini dealer install. There is no noise that I have noticed. MINI makes a brand new car top box that slides into the rails and tighten inside. About a 12 cu ft box that has the word "MINI" embossed into each side. A stripe can be added to the box. Great unit. Car rack is perfect.

I have it on my 2012 Clubman. You have to remove 4 pieces of the rubber seal/gasket that runs around the roof of the car in order to insert the 4 rack supports. The only difficulty was identifying the breaks in the rubber gasket around the roof of the car. If you pull at the gasket you can see the perforations. Once I located the pieces of gasket to remove installation was a breeze. Each of the supports has a lock and there is a lock on the fork clamp. I'm sure there is noise but it hasn't been noticeable to me. I haven't taken any extended trips via interstate.

Thanks all. I purchased it. Now it is time to find a mountain bike fitting for it. Any suggestions?

Don't know on fitting a 2012. But there's no noise. And yes, there's a lock system. It fit on my 2008 nicely.

Best to check with your dealer as to whether there were any design changes that affect the roof rack. This rack does fit my 2012 model and sofar I have had no noise or any other problems with instillation or use.

Agree with other two answers. I have mine on a Mini, but you have to buy the one that is for the Mini.

I don't have the dimensions. I can tell you that it fits my 2012 MINI Cooper S perfectly.

You have sensors built to sense resistance against the glass like a finger or hand getting caught. My 2012 and 2013 do the same. Once in awhile without a problem but usually they retract halfway down and I will hold the switch to make them close. They will fit 2009 to 2013 for sure. Other than that no other problems for 2 yrs running for me.

I am not sure, when I bought mine I went by requesting that it would fit my 2008 mini.

To the best of my knowledge, there haven't been any substantial design changes. Mine fit my 2012 perfectly.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Your Mini Cooper requires that you install a new wedge "button" to your windshield with a special adhesive. (Do Not attempt to remove the existing button, you could damage the windshield.) You can then proceed with a normal installation. I will supply the button and mounting kit for free with your mirror order. Please remind me that you will need this free kit when you order. Thank you, Bill Mihelich American Security Company

Hi SharonThe unit has a great sound firstly with the old speakers. The unit is reasonably easy to fit but I recommend you get the shop to do it if you haven't done one before. Although if ya get stuck you can always take to the shop in pieces.If you try yourself you must disconnect the battery and make sure its insulated from the car. This will defend the devices when they are being installed in case any wires touch. Good LuckBruce

Yes it did. Everything fit perfectly. I actually switched back to the mini 2 and everything still fit fine

It's very easy. Just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. It's not confusing at all. Only thing that irks me about it is that you have to purchase the compact separately. Just another gimmick to get another $11 out of people.

Yes it fits your 2012. Enjoy it. It looks great and feels soft to the elbow. Very eazy to install

There is one in the back of our 2013 Limited and it fits just fine. Looks nice too!

It will definitely fit the mini but not sure about the suzuki - never owned a suzuki. I have a 2011 toyota corolla and it fits easily might even have a bit of room to spare. Its a good tent, im from Australia and ive used it a bunch of times, it is a very spacious tent. The only thing I have to say against it is it can deal with light rain but if you get an aussie down pour it will leak and I had a tarp ready tied to my wheels to pull over and hook onto the pegs.

Yes, it's easy if you are familiar with following instructions and basic tools. Takes about an hour and everything fits great. Go for it!
