Replacement Mounting Hardware for Older Thule Pull Top Ski Rack

Question:

Have what I believe is an older Thule pull top style ski rack model 853-2805, need mounts for it and round nuts as well, mounting to oem style bars eliptical on a 2010 mazda cx-9 - Will 7521241001 speedlink system fit my racks? Is it considerably faster to install/remove than the 2 options below? Quicker to move from one car to another? - What is the difference between etrailer part TH7520970001 and Thule 7533998, is it that TH7520970001 includes round nuts 853-5439? - I assume both systems TH7520970001 and Thule 7533998 are meant to be left on after installed and not removed/moved from car to car, correct? Thank You

To determine which Thule replacement hardware you'd need we have to know which Pull Top you have. The part # 7533998 is for the TH725 and the part # TH7520970001 is for the TH726 both of which are discontinued.

Since you said you also need the round nuts you'd need the part # 853-5439 and most likely need the # 7533998. There isn't a way we can help you install the speed link setup though. The hardware is meant to be left on the rack when installed and uninstalled.
