    The flathead screw you will need with the Replacement 2 inch Hitch Adapter # 853-7489 is screw # 853-5787-02. If you also need the tool to tighten it use # 853-2430-02.

  • Replacement Bolt to Secure Shank Adapter for Thule Transporter Combi Cargo Carrier
    I recommend using the M6 Flat Cap Screw # 853-5787-02 since that's what Thule has listed as the part needed on their site. The Replacement M5 x 15 mm Bolt # 852-3136-001 you referenced is for some of the bike racks Thule makes but according to the instructions for the Thule Transporter Combi TH665C it looks like the 2" Hitch Adapter # 853-7489 is installed to the shank using the Replacement M6 x 16mm Flat Cap Screw # 853-5787-02. This is a little confusing since the Thule instructions...

  • Track Nut Compatible with Lance Camper Roof Rails
    Great question! I believe that TopLine is the OEM manufacturer for Lance's roof rails. Although there is no official industry standard size for slots on roof rails, most of them are very similar. It just makes sense to design the racks to be compatible with multiple crossbars and accessories. The Thule Track Nut, # 853-5417, that you mentioned is designed to work with Thule's M6 x 17 mm Bolt, # 924-0617-15, and washer, # 951061254. You'll also need a 4mm Hex Key like # 853-2430-02 to...

  • Parts for Thule Tracker TK1 Rail Foot Pack
    For your TK1 system, you will want the Replacement FootBase Thule Tracker Roof Rack # 753-2149. Depending on the rails you have, you will either want the track nut # 853-2106 or # 853-5147. Then you will want bolt # 924-0617-15 with key # 853-2430-02.

  • Parts for Thule Fit Kit TK8 for Tracker ll Roof Rack on a 2008 Honda CR-V
    The fit kit that would be associated with the Tracker II feet for a Honda CR-V is the TK8 but it only fits up to 2006 Honda CR-Vs and does not include 2008. It may be possible to fit it on a 2008 but it hasn't been tested. Some of the TK8 parts are available including the cover, # 853-5701, foot base # 753-2149, washer # 951-0613-12, and hex key # 853-2430-02. Because this is not a sure fit, I recommend taking a look at the current Thule rack that fits your 2008 Honda CR-V. You would...

  • Are Replacement Parts Available for the 9025 Thule Apex Bike Rack?
    I went through the instructions and replacement parts for a Thule 9025 Apex 4 bike rack, but I was unable to find a replacement nut or washer. However, I did find the bolts and wrenches that are direct replacements. The # 852-311-5001 (M6-25mm Button Head Screw) and # 852-3136-001 (M8x30 Flat Head Screw) will be the replacement bolts, and the # 853-2430-02 (4MM Hex Key) and # 853-0930 (M5 Hex Key) will be the replacement wrenches.
