Replacement Cradle for Old Thule Bike Rack
Question:
Hello etrailer Folks, I have an old Thule bike rack registration number 140726. The metal parts are in very good condition but the 6 rubber bike supports are splitting. See attached file. The part number is 853-1545. I cannot find this part on your site. What part can I use to replace these? The straps seem to be in good condition. Thanks!

That must be a very old rack, my Thule representative didn't even have record of that part number. If the rack has a 1 inch diameter tube that the cradle slides on to, the Thule Stay-Put cradle # 853-7887 would be an acceptable repalcement. You'd also need cradle straps # 852-3006-001.
