Replacement Wheel Tray End Cap for the Original Thule Big Mouth Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I have two 10-year old Thule big mouth bike racks and I lost a tray end cap to one of them. I read online that the replacement end cap for the prologue is the one I need, not the end cap that Thule now sells for the big mouth bike rack. It does look like the end cap I have for the other big mouth bike rack. Do you know if this end cap will fit my big mouth bike rack or should I buy the Replacement Wheel Tray Endcap for Thule Echelon, Sidearm and Big Mouth Roof Mounted Bike Carriers, part number 753-3236.

The Thule Big Mount went through a change at one point that included the end caps. The end cap it was changed to was # 753-3236. Prior to that it looked more like # 853-7629 that you have referenced but it is not the same end cap. Your bike rack wheel try where the end cap goes has slots for tabs for the correct end cap.

According to Thule you need # 853-5424 as a replacement.

It's very likely the latter, but it depends on the specific Thule Big Mouth rack you have, as there were two of them, the original Big Mouth Upright 599XT and the Big Mouth 599XTR. It is likely the 599XTR, as they were around far longer. The…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

I have a solution for you, but we do not carry Glo-Brite lights, so replacing it with the same brand will not be something I can offer you. Instead, to replace your Glo-Brite 9852-88, I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light #STL72RB.…
