You may be able to use the Thule SpeedLink Mounting Hardware Assembly # 7521241001 by modifying your older generation Thule Ski Carrier 91725. However, I cannot recommend you drill the rivets out as not only will this automatically void your warranty on the carrier, but from a safety standpoint, there are too many things that could potentially go wrong and risk damaging/losing your gear or injury to other drivers.

If your original mounting hardware is damaged or shows signs of considerable wear and tear, I recommend replacing it with the following parts, as necessary:

Replacement Bottom Mounting Clamp # 753-2854
Replacement Tamperproof Screw # 853-5269
Replacement Tamperproof Wrench # 853-5270-02

Since the Top Mounting Clamps are riveted in, they are not replaceable. If you prefer to simply go with a whole new carrier, I recommend one the following budget-friendly options:

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Skis or 2 Boards # RR574
Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Skis or 4 Boards # RR576

You can use either the Thule 2-Wing Knob #753-1897-03 which came on the Thule 725 Ski Carrier or you can use the Round Nut #853-5439 with the Mounting Kit #7533998 you have. You will need 2 of the knobs or nuts per mount or 4 total for the set.
