What's going on everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're just gonna be taking a look at the replacement caps for your Malone AirFlow2 roof rack system. As you probably already know the Malone AirFlow2 has a nice and unique end cap. So, has a little flap down here to access our tracks on top. But if you lose one, you're gonna need to grab some replacements. That's actually the situation we're in today.
We don't have one on here, but we do have one here. So, what you wanna make sure of is we're gonna get two for the one side and two for the other side. What I mean by that is these are gonna fit in nice and neat. Right here. Just like that.
They're gonna be a little bit harder to get in. Just because they are new. But as you start wearing them down a little bit it's gonna be a little bit easier to get them in and out. But as you can see, this will line up. But if you use the other ones, they won't.
So, we're gonna get one for each side. Obviously that's not right. So just be sure to replace whatever one that you really need to get done. It's only gonna go in one spot. So it's pretty straightforward.
So this is gonna be an exact replacement. It's not gonna have any differences whatsoever. So we had the old one here. It's got the flap, we got the new one here. It's got the flap. It's the same exact thing. So maybe if the caps aren't really staying in there as well, the new ones are gonna stay in there nice and tight. But if you just lose it, we have replacements for you. And it's just as easy as when you do it normally. You just go ahead and line it up. Kind of shift it back and forth. Like I said, it's gonna be a little bit more difficult to get them in there. Compared to the old ones because it's not as worn down. But it is a nice and tight fit. That's exactly what we have. But now we have all of them or they're gonna stay in place. And that'll do it for our look at the replacement end caps for your Malone AirFlow2 roof rack system..
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (98 Customer Reviews)
Replaces the endcaps for Malone AirFlow2 roof rack aero crossbars (MPG215, MPG216, or MPG217).Besides a shipping delay... which wasn't etrailers fault, I appreciated that I could find these replacement parts here. Etrailer kept in communication about my order on multiple occasions and provide a high degree of customer service.
Aaron - 11/16/2022Product is as described. I lost the original part somewhere in my travels, this was the perfect replacement part. The item was on backorder, and etrailer.com was very good keeping me updated. Great purchase experience!
Thomas B - 11/28/2022I think this is my second etrailer review. I don't think this part was in stock when I ordered it and it took FOREVER to get to me, but it's not a critical part and the customer service people at etrailer sent me periodic check-ins to ensure I knew my order was still placed and would be fulfilled eventually. I was even proactively given the option to cancel my order for a refund, but I held fast knowing my money hadn't just gone into a void never to be seen again.
If there's ever something I need that can be found on this website, you can bet I'm going here first.
Replacement fit. I was glad to be able to replace the endcap that had disappeared. It was quite a wait, but no one else had them either. I chose to wait for the product from etrailer. I have always been satisfied with purchases from etrailer.
The end caps do not fit our cross bars ??
Brooke M - 11/17/2022Fit like a glove- pro tip do not go through an automated car wash with your aero bars and you will not need this product lol
One of the few downsides of the Airflow2 roof rack is the endcaps can get knocked off fairly easily if you're not careful. These replacement endcaps are inexpensive and fit great. ETrailier was excellent as always. Quick shipping and great customer service.
Rack was quite easy to install and has performed well with car-top carrier. Ordered extra endcaps, but have not needed to replay any yet.
Have paired with Malone SeaWing kayak carriers. Only issue is that the Malone SeaWings do not conform to the aerodynamic cross-section of these Malone rails. Made it work, but Malone should seriously consider creating multiple adaptors for the SeaWing (with possibly an enlarged notch) so they will actually fit more rails.
Product was fine, but the kit I ordered was missing parts. Disappointing.
Brooke M - 01/25/2023The end caps are perfect fit for the crossbars and would receive 5 stars if both the instructions and the videos showed that you need to slightly depress the tab on top of the cap to prevent the tab from breaking resulting in the cap being loose in the crossbar. I guarantee this would resolve the comments regarding loose end caps.
Exercise care when removing gear from rack, especially boats, as end caps can open if gear drags over them.
I recently ordered some replacement end caps to replace one that went missing from my roof rack.
Customer service reached out to me to check that everything was good the same day they arrived.
While trying to install, I had the securing tab on one break (obviously, no fault of etrailer). I contacted them and they were immediately responsive.
After explaining the situation to them and sharing pictures of the problem, they promptly sent me a new set of end caps at no charge.
Their customer service was outstanding and not something I’ve come to expect in today’s online shopping world. It was a most welcome surprise!
Rack was as described and works great. etrailer customer service is the best. Was missing end cap on cross bars and they sent a set out with in 3 days. Nice when a company makes things right in a timely manner.
Exact replacement part and fast delivery. Thanks!
The product is what it is, they are direct replacements and they fit perfect as expected. The review is more for the etrailer team. Have ordered several times from them and their service cannot be overstated. It’s fast, they communicate through the entire process including confirming the receipt of the purchase and that the product was up to my standards. As always they are amazing
Great company. Product was out of stock but as soon as it arrived it was shipped. Delivered on time.
Great that I have additional endcaps. Unfortunately, they are for only one side. They didn't put in end caps for both sides, just four endcaps for one side, and wouldn't you know it, the one that I need to replace is on the side that's not included. Very annoying!
Product is exactly what was advertised and fit perfectly. Shipping was a bit of an adventure, but not etrailers fault. It left there facilities immediately but then went north towards Canada and then took a hard left and went to the southwest in LA. Eventually it made it to me and I wasn’t really in a hurry, so not a big deal. Overall etrailer was great on their end.
Replacement parts were the same as the originals. Quick shipping and always happy to purchase from etrailer.com.
Excellent customer service. My order was delayed but I received multiple updates on status of order.
I ordered more end caps for my Malone roof rack crossbars as one fell out and was lost. They came in a pack of four, two for the right and two for the left. The new cap went in easily and I still have one to spare for the right side and two for the left side.
As the end caps are supposed to snap into place, they do not! As a result, I super glued them into place. That will work fine!!!
Brooke M - 05/04/2022I should rate it less, but I know of the supply chain issues and that’s not your fault. The end caps were on back order way too long. The Malone crossbars are great with the exception of the end caps.
They fit a bit more snugly than the ones that came with the Airflow cross bars which is a good thing. Now if I could just remember to not go through a car wash with my cross bars I would not need replacements but that is another story and as they say “operator error”.
Lost an endcap to my Malone roof rack, the replacement fit perfectly, thank you etrailer
