Hello, neighbors and friends. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at a replacement Lock Cover for the Thule Sidearm Roof-Mounted Bike Carrier. Now, if you're not sure what the Thule Sidearm is, it's an older rack by Thule. This is a replacement part for it directly from Thule, so you can be sure this will fit that Thule Sidearm. Now this is gonna replace one, quantity of one, lock cover.
It is a nice, hard, durable plastic material, very simple. It does have the hole in there and the engraving where it says "Lock." You can install your Thule One-Key System Lock that's sold separately, or you most likely already have it. And it simply just snaps into place right over the base plate and prevents tampering with mounting knobs. So again, it does fit the Thule Sidearm Roof-Mounted Bike Rack. That's item number TH594.
Folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look today. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
This is the 2nd lock cover I purchased and it works great, just a little deterrence.
Works as it should. I know some folks complain that this cover can be pried/broken off easily but I'm hoping it will at least slow the bad guys down a bit. If I was leaving the bikes unattended for an extended time I'd cable lock everything to the roof rack rails. Those cables can be cut
pretty easily also, truth be told. So maybe a high voltage capacitor attached to the works is the way to go.
This cap does exactly what I expected it to do. I bought some used sidearm racks for a great price that were missing a few pieces so I got this cap to lock the rack to my roof bars. It works great and I've never had an issue with it coming loose. Not that they need replacing, but if I needed another one I wouldn't hesitate to buy one from etrailer.
Perfect fit. Accepted Thule key core no problem. Works like a charm!
