Needing Additional Hardware for my Thule Ski Rack Mounting Kit
Question:
The nuts recommend are needed, but unfortunately I still do not have all the parts I need to mount the rack. In looking at the instructions included with the original kit I purchased, it looks like I'm missing some sort of additional nut and washer (photo attached). Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

The Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # 7533998 comes with 8 screws of one size, 4 screws of another length, 4 washers, and 2 tools. If you need the round nut that you saw in the instructions as an additional security measure, then you will want the Replacement Round Nut for Thule Carriers # 853-5439. You will likely need 4 of these so you have one for each mounting bracket. You will not need any additional parts like bushings according to Thule.
