Adam: Hi, everybody! Adam with etrailer. Today, we're going to be just talking about some replacement parts for you guys' ladder racks. In particular, we're going to be looking at the Thule rack. So, we have the Xsporter here, but this is also going to work with your track TracRacs as well. And we're going to be taking a look at the replacement knob.It's exactly the same. Perfectly identical.
So, if you guys are just having troubles with your guys' knob, maybe the little sleeve on the inside starts slipping and you're not really getting it as tight as you want, or maybe you guys accidentally cross threaded it, or something like that. It's really easy, really simple. We have these replacement parts on our website, and it's just that easy to get it replaced, whether it just looks bad or it's not really functioning right. But as you can see, it is a perfect replacement. So, just know you have that option here at etrailer.If you guys do end up replacing your knob, and that's not necessarily solving your problem, it could be our little T-bolt down here.
And luckily, we do have a replacement for that as well on our website. So, just go ahead and check that out, and pick whatever replacement parts are going to be best for you guys, to get what you guys want.But to be honest, that's pretty much all there really is to know about this replacement knob for your Thule ladder racks.

Replaces the twist knob on a load stop that is designed for TracRac ladder rack crossbars. Knob allows you to secure the load stop to the crossbar.etrailer is the only place I've been able to find replacement knobs. As an FYI to others even when tightly screwed knobs will eventually loosen. Check often.
Nothing wrong with the knob, other than the description is incorrect. This knob is for the larger track bolt that only fit the under side of the rack. They do not fit the t-bolt that goes with the load stop.
The knob doen't fit the stock t-bolt that came on my 2007 tracrac ladder rack. Extremely disappointed.

I would like to find the knob that would work for you. This is meant to be used on the load stop that comes with the rack. Where is the T-bolt located? Is it the one that fits into the cross-bar channel?
I forgot to tighten the knobs on my tracrack from 2013 and they loosened and fell off. I was a little nervous that these weren’t going to work, but it was a perfect fit.
etrailer has a different knob in the package for this knob. They sent me a replacement which was exactly the same. They both have 1/4” threads, not 3/8 as advertised. Despite me sending multiple pictures and videos customer service insists that since the part number on the bag is correct, I have received the knob that I ordered. Told me to call Thule. This is not a Thule part etrailer has their own branding on it. Until they sell all the wrong size knobs or get interested enough to go try to screw a 3/8 bolt on to this they will be sending customers the wrong part. Good luck.
I received the wrong part. I received the slide rail stop knob instead of the rack load stop knob.

Thank you for letting us know. Customer Service will be in contact with you.
Perfect replacement for a broken knob on my TracRac
Very pleased that this knob fit, made the mistake of ordering the wrong type the first try but you had exactly what I needed
Perfect fit.

Perfect match
These are not original knobs, which is not a big deal except they are not as deep as the original knobs. Meaning the bolt bottoms out in the cap before it is tight on the rack. my fix was it add a few washers to fill the gap.
They don't look like the picture. There is no silver rivet or screw in the side, but they work and I would rather not have that detail. I just wish they wouldn't vibrate off every couple of years. Lol.
Good quality knob.
Completely satisfied, fast shipping great communication, A plus all the way
I found that the threads in the plastic handle are too short for the bolt that tightens the arm, I had to add a thick rubber washer so it would shorten the length of the threads. It nice to have the handle in place.

Thank you for your review on the hand knob. This particular hand knob is designed specifically for newer style TracRac Ladder Rack Load stops. If you have an older load stop you will need T-bolt part # HD-80122.
Fast delivery. Everything was perfect
Quick and efficient. Had what we needed in stock.
Site had exactly what I needed - easy to order, detailed tracking and fast delivery.
Could not have asked for more.
Easy to order. Fast shipping. On time delivery. I will be ordering from etrailer more often.
Outstanding product; I took out and put on my TracRack for 2002 Tundra and it worked perfectly. Excellent price and arrived pretty quick with just the standard delivery. Thank you.

Awesome product and they still perform like I just bought them a couple weeks ago.
Exactly what I needed
The place where I had purchased my Trak Rack has closed and there are no places close enough or with a good enough rating to have them install the system on my new truck. I ordered the necessary parts from you and after a very short time on the phone we were all set. The package came, everything was there and i couldn't be happier.
Thank you very much.
It was great to see someone was offering these knobs a reasonable price. The materials were decent, brass inserts ... The design was a little off however. The inserts weren't quite deep enough so the knobs didn't lock the bracket on the top rail. I added a washer which fixed the problem.
I was missing all the legs to the Tracrac I bought at an estate sale and was totally disappointed when I found out it was a very specialized piece. Went online to see if I could order them from the manufacturer, but was not able to find any on their parts lists for sale. I continued to look at option only to come up empty. Tried a general search and to my surprise e trailer had them. It made my day. Product came quickly and included everything ordered. Thanks etrailer ...you are now in my favorites. Cheers!
Shipping was so slow that the mating part fell off before it arrived. Never received an order confirmation or shipping confirmation with tracking number. Had difficulty remembering who I had ordered from when the time came to check on the status of my order.
Like many vendors ET is using USPS to ship. Somehow this is never up to par and in the future I will insist on UPS or FedEx.
My Trac Rack system is at least 20 years old and needed new hand cranks, WAY cheaper than buying all new parts. It’s the way to go.

I am wondering how old your TracRac is. We have found that this particular hand knob is designed specifically for newer style TracRac Ladder Rack Load stops. If you have an older load stop then you will also need the bolt, part # HD-80122.
