Replacement Thule Fit Kit Recommendation for 2008 Saab 9-3 for Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack
Question:
I have a Thule AeroBlade Edge Aero Bar Roof Rack - 2008 Saab 9-3, and I need to replace a few parts. [1] Rear fastener plate. I checked mine, and it is 853-2082-02. But The only one I see on your site is 853-2081. Are they interchangeable? [2] Replacement attachment bolts for locking the rack footpads to the car. Since the car has pre-drilled holes for attaching racks. Additionally, I think there are some have heads that are not a standard allen wrench pattern? Thanks.

Thule doesn't offer replacement parts for their fit kits like the part # THKIT3065 which is the correct kit to use on your 2008 Saab 9-3 with the bars # TH7601B-TH7602B.
The reason they give us is that they get the kits directly from Sweden pre-assembled so they can't split them up for replacement parts. So you'd have to order a new fit kit then.
The part you mentioned is actually for a bike rack so it wouldn't work at all.
