Friday checkup - who are we still waiting on??!!! No Mini Left Behind! BTW I got the AGS shutter assembly reattached in like 5 minutes, super easy with an 8mm socket and long flathead screwdriver.
Got her! Thanks all for keeping me sane during the wait and knowing I’m not the only one who checked Mini Garage tracker 19 times a day!
I could be wrong, but I think that’s a wrap for the QC crew! Thanks for the supportive camaraderie through this journey. Hope you all are enjoying your new ride!!
3rd most replied to thread in the Mini SE subforum. We definitely supported each other. I hope this thread doesn't see a resurgence from a new group later on.
Lol, no. However, the hitch I bought in May is not the correct one, even after talking to someone from the manufacturer. I have a feeling I'm going to be too late for a refund or trade.
I’ll be paying attention. Had a hitch on my last small suv for a bike rack. Contemplated one for the mini, but every option I saw, they had to cut into the bumper to make it work….
@Carsten Haase did a great job installing a hitch on his SE. It would seem that any hitch that didn't require you to cut into the bumper/valence panel would have to be so low that it would scrape on steep driveway approaches.
EcoHitch makes a Hidden Hitch for the Hardtop, but it’d be cool if they made the Stealth version like they offer for my Subaru. I suspect the geometry would generate too much torque to allow the through-bolt design on the MINI.
That's what I have, the Ecohitch Hidden Hitch, but I think it's for the previous gen and isn't supposed to be. I'll have to sort that all out tomorrow. I'm baffled.
My 2 MINI SE's. (The black was the tardy one). Thanks for all the support and good spirits. I wish you well.
