Lever for Cable Release on the Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack 9001 No Longer Works
Question:
One of the 4 cable release grey levers doesnt work on my TH9001 so I cannot pull out enough cable for the upper attachment to the car. 3 of the levers are fine.

Expert Reply:
You will first need to make sure that the unit is not locked or partially locked. This would only affect the cables on one side of original Raceway 9001 bike rack. If it is not that side then there is likely a part of the mechanism that is broken so that the drum that holds the cable is not disengaged into freewheel mode (which is what happens when you pull the lever).
You may still be able to turn the wheel and ratchet out the cable. There is no replacement part available for this problem but the rack does have a limited lifetime warranty. Thule should be able to either fix the rack or replace it for you.
Please check out the newest version of this rack, the OutWay # TH45JV.
