Rear Bike Rack Replacement Parts?
Some guy wearing a tuxedo and driving a Prius tagged my bike rack the other day.
Not too serious, most of the damage could be easily repaired with a handful of replacement parts.
However, MINI Dealer informs me they do not sell ALL replacement parts for this rack, just a selected few and NONE of the parts I actually need.
In other words, MINI's solution is to scrap this rack and buy a new one for over $700.
Ridiculous! Will start over with a Thule system before buying another unsupported accessory from MINI, and write this one off to 'lessons learned'.
However in the interest of repair for resale, I would like to know who makes these racks for MINI.
Thule I'm guessing, but cannot find any corroborating evidence.
Thanks

I just bought a used bike rack (MINI rear mount for Countryman). My wife has a heavy electric bike that's much easier to load onto a rear rack than a roof rack.
I'm looking for parts as well. I'm looking for an owners manual and lock cylinders with keys.
Are the locks the same as Thule or Yakima or do I need to buy rack specific locks?
