Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Thule replacement hold open pin assembly. This is gonna replace the hold open pin assembly for your Thule swing-away 4-bike carrier, including the apex, the revolver, the trailblazer, or the vertex. So if you are needing to replace that original hold open pin for any of those, this is going to be the replacement from Thule, so you can trust it is gonna fit right in place of that original, and give you that original compatibility as well. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com Thanks for watching.
Quick service, easy order.
The metal eyelet inside diameter is too small for my screw to mount on my Thule swing away. I modified it by drilling it. I did not want to spend more money nor time to get a smaller size set of screw and locking nut.
Fits like the original pin I lost for my bike carrier. Good communication from Etrailer regarding shipping
Lost my hold open pin for my Thule bike rack. This replacement fit like a glove and is made of high quality material that, in my opinion, is of equal or higher quality to the original.
Love the prices, availability of a myriad of small parts and replacement parts for all of my racks and storage devices. Fixed lots of little issues due to eTrailer. Thanks. Also part quality is high. Not just knock off garbage. Highly recommend.
I have forgotten to put these in the hole in the bike rack and they break off. So I ordered two from the only place I have been able to find them. Great service and prompt delivery - even on a small order. I'll remember to put them in the hole in the future
Thule had no idea what this part was! Their manual didn't even list it. Since the original part wasn't tethered, along the way it popped out and disappeared.
You guys saved the day. The replacement model even has a tether/leash, so it can't go missing over a road bump, too.
Very happy with my bike rack pin..it is exactly as shown and fits perfectly..
Exact match…just drilled out old rivet and put new one in and good to go
As advertised quick shipping
Perfect replacement item.
Needed this part as I accidentally left it hanging while driving and it broke off. The item arrived on time and fits correctly. This was a hard part to find, so I appreciate this!
Great stuff thank you
It is an exact fit and arrived right on time.
fits nicely
