Replacement Square-Bar Clamp-On for Thule Ride-On Adapter - 853-2156

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (69 Customer Reviews)

This clamp-on fits around a square Thule load bar to provide an attachment point for the mounting clamps of your Thule Ride-On adapter. Clamp-on attaches to mounting clamp with carriage bolt, rectangular washer and hex nut (sold separately).

Fits very well as intended. Its about a 99% exact fit for my load bearing roof rack bars.

Works great with attaching my older style fairing to my Thule 444 roof rack. Thule states that the mounts for the 555 fairing are no longer available but if you use this and a M6 square head bolt and an M6 3-wing hand knob they work like a charm for securing the fairing!

Did you also purchase the M6 square-head and 3-wing knob from here? If so, would you mind sending me a link for them? Possibly the part ? Thank you!

He sure did. I pulled open his order and the bolts he used are 853-208909 and the 3-wing knob are 753-0783. Links to the parts are below.

Service was excellent and the part did what I needed it to do. Very happy.



by:

They were a good match to the originals, fit correctly and seem to be sturdy.

Waaaayyyy cheaper than buying a replacement from Thule.



by:

Bought these as replacements for cracked and aging mounting hardware for my existing ski racks. Everything came exactly as ordered and fit great on my roof racks. Price with shipping was less than buying directly through Thule! It was really helpful to be able to shop by Thule part number. I actually found this site by googling the part numbers I needed.



by:

I needed specific replacement parts for a Thule bicycle roof rack. The process to find the parts could not have been easier on the eTrailer web site. I simply searched using the Thule part number and immediately found what I needed. After submitting my order, I discovered that I needed to update my order. The customer service representative was extremely helpful and friendly. There is no need to look any further for your trailer and rack needs. eTrailer is the best.

I bought these to retrofit my Thule SquareBars for a bike rack that I already had. This part works perfectly with a 6mm carriage bolt to create an attachment point on the SquareBar for just about anything you want to mount!



by:

This part fit my application perfectly... This helped me attach my Thule ski rack to a round cross bar. The original mount that came with rack was for oval bar. Thanks etrailer customer service for helping me solve my problem...

While this is a perfect replacement for the thule piece I had that rusted out ( after about 10 years) . I've found that this one has started to rust out in just a year.
It is the ONLY replacement I've found, and at a great price, so it works great.
If need be , I'll be buying all new ones next year.
( as you can see the other parts are rusting as well,,, but same goes.. only replacement I could find.. so I'll buy those in a year also )

Awesome. These also fit the Universal Square Bar Adapter, which is designed to clamp onto any crossbar or raised rail roof rack, the allow you to mount Thule square crossbars to whatever style rack you may have.



by:

A quick and inexpensive solution to a failed part due to age/weather. These clips allow me to maintain my Thule rack without an expensive purchase! Thanks again etrailer!



by:

Tough to find part that was necessary to use my Thule ski rack that had clips for my old Jeep. etrailer mailed it same day and arrived 2 days later. Great experience.



by:

One of clips on my Thule ski rack broke, I was thrilled to find a replacement at such a reasonable price. The clipped shipped quickly and the clips were exactly as shown.
Highly recommend!



by:

Great replacement parts for Thule racks. Ordering was easy and product arrived in a short amount of time.



by:

Product fits perfectly on thule square racks plastic feels a little thinner than original but time will tell......very fast w/shipping



by:

Works as intended and allowed me to get my legacy Thule rack system back up.



by:

I very much like the low profile and slim line look of these mounts. I installed them on pickup truck bed ski rack.



by:

Great service. Had the replacement part I was looking for for my older model rack and shipped out quickly and at a good price. I'll definitely shop here again!

We are pleased to hear you’re happy with your purchase.

Looks to be of the same quality as my Thule adapters for much less. Order process was simple and smooth from start to delivery. very satisfied.



by:

I'm so glad you had these clamps! They were hard to find!



by:

Great product , allows me to customize my rack and roll trailer!



by:

Just what I originally ordered. I did however respond, when I was informed of a back order, to not send the bolts but I got them anyway. (They were not the right size...I forgot to say that)
All good.



by:

These parts are perfect and convenient. No need to go to a hardware store and collect these parts individually for almost the same cost!

Thank you!
