Video Transcript for Thule Trunk Bike Racks 852-2903-001 Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement anti-sway attachment for the Thule Gateway, Archway, and Vertex bike racks. Prevent your bike rack from rocking back and forth during transport by replacing a lost or damaged anti-sway cage on the whole fast cradle of you Thule Vertex Gateway or Archway bike rack. The unit simply attaches to the angled extension on the bottom of the cradle, snaps into place. One anti-sway cage is included. It's going to work with the cradle and rubber strap to help prevent your bike from rocking back and forth during transport. It does have the two mounting knobs on there for securing rubber straps.

That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement anti-sway attachment.

Still working fine. Even though the rack is stored in our shed, the many temperature variations of Upstate NY don’t seem to have negatively impacted them as of yet.

by:
Perfect replacement and shipped quickly.
by:
Received the product in a timely fashion and it was easy to install. I would definitely order other replacement parts for my bike rack through your company.

After one year, the part is still doing well and is essential in keeping my bike stable on the rack. Took bikes to South Carolina and back without a problem.

Had trouble locating this item. Thule no longer sticks them. Perfect fit and arrived in a few days. Thanks very much.

Fits well… fast delivery
by:
Excellent, needed replacements for those that were removed from my rack (unauthorized "5-finger-discounts" from passers by...). Just like the originals.

purchased 1 piece of 852-2903-001
and 6 pieces of 852-3006-001 (to replace sun damaged ones)...

So now I remove all of these and store them inside my vehicle when not carrying the bikes.

Perfect, one year later. These straps are surviving the AZ sun better now that theyre not always exposed. When they do were out, Ill be back for more !

Still Perfect!

by:
The bike hitch and arm are very sturdy and well-designed, but the rubber rings, attachments and straps are ridiculous. The rings are immovable (except when they move by themselves during transport of bikes then can’t be moved back) and the other pieces are awkward to use and don’t stay on. It’s like the original engineers of the bike racks were replaced by amateurs when it came to the last 20% of the job - the parts that are used most.
by:
Great replacement parts! Fit and worked flawlessly. Etrailer service is top of the line. Great communications .

Great. Holding up just fine

by:
This is a component for an anti sway device on a bike rack. The parts are well designed, easily disassembled for different configurations, and work well for intended purpose.

Most of all, eTrailer is fantastic as usual. Great price and fast shipping. Bonus, if you have any issues, a live person answers the phone and a resolution comes in moments without pushback. If I need it, I check here first.

Looks good as new, Henster! When's the next adventure with the bikes?

by:
Etrailer was the only place I could find these. The price was great, as was packaging and delivery. I'm very pleased with etrailer.

These still work great. They are easy to secure, keep the bikes from swinging, and feel like they’ll last a long time. They are made of rubber instead of the plastic models they replaced. No bumper scratches after a year of use!

by:
Very grateful that etrailer.com had these anti-sway attachments that were "removed" (i.e. stolen) from our Thule bike rack. etrailer had a full selection of the parts we needed for our specific bike rack model. Easy to navigate, search, and order from the etrailer website. Delivery was as scheduled.
by:
First of all, the service from e-trailer is amazing. I no sooner order what I want and it is in the mail! Keep up the good work.

The anti-sway cradle for the Thule bike rack is a poor design. Other bike racks that either I have owned or that I have seen, have this section complete with no opening. Because of this open section (see above), I have lost two of them in a couple of months of ownership. This needs another part to complete the attachment. At least I get good service in replacing them.
