What Car Cover fits over Roof Rack?

I would like to get a cover to fit over my 2010 R56 Hatchback (Justa) which has an OEM MINI brand roof rack installed.

Can anyone report a specific cover known to fit?

Also, what about the radio antenna? Does it need to be removed for the cover to fit?

Thanks

The generic car cover I bought in 2019 is now ripped and needing replacement. It fit over the roof racks, but it was way too big.

So I am still looking for an answer to this question, please.

I have not seen one, other then those universals that are huge. You have to take it off to use the fitted ones.

Thanks for the reply. As I recall, the Mini roof racks are a bit of a pain to remove and reinstall, so I'm going to leave them mounted. Guess I'll have to get another generic.

Seems like some generics may fit better than others. Was hoping someone would have one to recommend.
