Hey Chris, I'm searching for the same solution. I saw the Saris rack http://www.graberproducts.com and thought I found a way. The Saris mounts slide into a cross bar that looks identical to the MINI factory bars. I went to look at one in person and found the Saris cross bar is actually completely oval, the MINI bar has a flat top. Also, the slot in the Saris cross bar is much narrower than that in the MINI cross bar so the bolt head would pull right out of the MINI bar. I am really tempted to buy the Saris rack, find a bolt with a larger head and give it a go though. It would be a very easy mod. My only concern is the Saris rack would only hit the factory cross bar along the leading and trailing edges. Don't know what kind of cracking, etc. might result long term.
