Replacement Foam Pad for Bike Frame Hooks on Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Carrier - Qty 1

Exact replacement - looks brand new again. It's just very hard to slip into place. Make sure you lubricate the inside of the tube before you try inserting it in place. It is very difficult to remove once in place.1730184

Perfect replacement for my Curt bike rack that is similar to the Hollywood bike rack.1652676

It worked perfectly on my Thule Double Bike Rack!!! Spray some hair spray on the shaft and caress the darn thing on with a double hand twisty motion little by little until finished! 662564

Happy to find foam replacement. Putting them on was a breeze. One of the foam started splitting with minimal utilization. Maybe it was stretched out too tight or something. I purchased 2 and the other foam pad is holding strong without splitting.

It does the job great. However, only temporarily does it do its job. When pressing down on mountain bike with steep and wide top-tubes, the foam slowly gets damaged. After a period of use the foam tears then exposes the metal on the rack which will do serious damage to paint work and carbon fiber. This would be less of a hassle if they were less expensive, but in my opinion I paid too much for some foam tubes. 569751

Ive wondered about this myself....I asked my Hollywood Racks representative about this, and was told that if the foam padding on the hooks is getting torn up, it indicates that the hooks are being pushed down too firmly on the bike frame. The hooks only need to be pushed down far enough to keep the bike from hopping out of the wheel hoops, and no further than that.

Worked great. The inside diameter was smaller than the old ones (it was a different rack but the size seemed right) and it took a little liquid soap, but after it was a better fit than the original.

I bought these to go into my Thule platform bike rack. The original foam that was on the books was ripped. Even though these were not made for this rack, they worked great. 582994

I ordered a trailer hitch for my 2014 Kia Sorento. The video and instructions were perfect in helping make the installation real easy. Great product and great price. Had the order in just two days. Was so impressed I also order a bike rack and received the same great service. Great company to do business with. Will be back I'm sure.435443

This foam was a direct replacement on my bike rack. I had ordered the smaller diameter and they didn't fit. No sense in returning those since the shipping would almost be the same as I paid for the parts. The new 5/8 foam pieces slid right onto the hooks with a little help from WD 40. 432467

Although this item was not made for my specific bike rack; Adam R from etrailer was able to research this item and give enough information for me to decide to purchase it.
I'm glad he went the extra mile because it fits perfectly.

The product was as described and was an exact replacement for my bike rack. The foam is dense enough to keep from wearing through yet soft enough to keep the bike tight and secure.634411

This has held up both structurally and aesthetically, even in the AZ sun. Great quality and I am very happy with it.1186535

Even though I bought this for the Thule Double Track rack, it fit, looks and works perfectly as the original Thule pad. I knew it was a gamble to try it but it paid off.

Exactly what I needed to be able to put my bike rack back in service1344871

Hollywood rack is good however the hooks for the bicycles need work to hold them in place as they ruin the paint on the bicycles.1162170

Love the bike rack, easy to use work great. Only come is no locking device for bike825951

The product was exactly as advertised. It arrived quickly and I received a series of status updates from etrailer.com along the way. I would highly recommend them and use them again without hesitation and they are a small business that provides top customer service and support for its products. 239717

The product quality was good but it was too big for the bike rack I have although it did work for what I needed. This was the only site I was able to find this product on. 726693

Product was exactly what i needed and service was impeccable.1350607

I bought this to make my order qualify for free shipping. I have to use foam pads to secure my vintage bikes with smaller diameter tubing with my Swagman cairier and needed replacements.596926

Bought this for an XPORT hitch bike rack and it fits perfectly. 161794
