Hi.

I have a 2006 Cooper S Convertible and I am having a very difficult time finding a rear trailer hitch for my specific year and body type. There appear to be plenty of trailer hitch options for every year EXCEPT the '06 Cooper S. And if there is a hitch available for the '06 Cooper S, it is NOT available for the convertible.

Does anyone out there have a '06 Cooper S Convertible with a trailer hitch that can tell me where to purchase one? If anyone has any ideas, I would certainly appreciate your assistance. And can anyone explain to me what makes the '06 so unique that the other trailer hitches do not fit?

One point that I will make is that I have the rear fog lamp plate with no light assembly in place so I am good to go with that.

Thank you...

Romachado, you will be better off asking this question on a mainly American Mini forum like North American Motoring (http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/) or Motoring Alliance (http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums).

A lot of the members here are in Britain and we have a whole set of European rules about towbars that mean we can't have towbars on either convertibles or Cooper Ss - putting a towbar on a convertible Cooper S, of any year, is like a double whammy.
