Question:

The strap # 753-3535 I received with this order does not fit the cradle # 853-5829?

Expert Reply:

It looks like you purchased the Thule T3 Cradle, # 853-5829, and the T3 Strap, # 753-3535. These two items should work well together so I made a short demonstration video for you. If you think you may have received a different strap or are missing a part, let us know so we can send you the correct parts.

I have the Thule Hitching Post Pro which I believe is now referred to as T3. I want to purchase new cradle and straps but I am unable to loosen the rusted screws in the cap at the end of the arms. I’ve tried WD 40. Do you have any other suggestions?

If those screws are rusted it may just take multiple doses of WD 40. Spray on and around the screw, let it sit for a bit, and then try loosening it up again - repeating this process until it's hopefully clean enough to remove. I wish I had a better method for you but it likely will just take some time.
