What is the Warranty on the Thule Helium Aero Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack
Question:
What type of guarantee dose Thule offer for this bike rack? Thank you. I have a 2001 Toyota 4 Runner with a 2inch receiver.

The Thule Helium Aero bike rack, # TH9043PRO, comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I can tell you that I have seen hundreds of bike racks, installed them, tested them, fixed them, and the Helium is by far my favorite. It will not disappoint you. The cradles are the most advanced of any rack and feature road dampening pads. It also comes with an integrated cable lock, anti-rattle built-in and weighs only 19-1/2 pounds.
I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
