Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Replacement End Cap for T2 Bike Carriers

Hello, neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at a replacement plastic end cap for the T2 Thule bike carriers. That's right, folks, this is one replacement cap, again, quantity one, for the T2 bike carrier main support bar. Now I'll put them item numbers up on the screen in case you're not familiar with them. This guy, again, is just a nice heavy-duty plastic. It's a direct replacement part direct from Thule, so you can be sure it's gonna fit those bike racks that I listed.

As far some dimensions, it's two-inch by two-inch square. And again, just a nice, hard, heavy-duty plastic direct replacement part from Thule. Folks, not much more to say about it, right It's just a replacement end cap, again, direct from Thule for your T2 bike carriers. I'm Steven. Thank you so much for watching.

Fits Perfect!
by:
Excellent fitment, just be careful when installing it. This piece is directional, so there is a slot in it to conform to bolt inside the main support tube. I didn't realize that, almost damaged it. It is a bit expensive considering what it is. I decided to go with the Thule OEM version, but the less expensive option may work just as well.
by:
Excellent price and high quality product. Exactly what I needed for my Thule T2 bike rack. They're inexpensive, so I bought a few extras for the inevitable loss of another end cap down the road.

Etrailer has you covered for all your Thule T2 maintenance needs!

by:
We bought a used Thule Parkway Bike Rack and realized some of the pieces were missing- end caps. We found etrailer on a google search. It couldn't easier- very efficient web site. They shipped the replacement piece and we were very satisfied. I order a few more replacement parts for the bike rack and will continue order parts and items from etrailer. Thanks
by:
Took some quick measurements to make sure I was getting the right part. etrailer delivered my order as promised.

These caps are for ends of the Thule T2 hitch rack, not the ends of the grey bike trays.
by:
I have a well-used Thule Hitch rack. etrailer.com was easy to navigate, very reasonable price-wise, provide factory replacement parts, and my order arrived promptly. I will be using etrailer.com for all of my hitch-part needs.
by:
Product is a great fit, just as described and exactly what I needed. My rack is a Thule T2 Classic, and this end cap fits perfectly at the end of the main support piece that extends perpendicularly from the vehicle—to cover the hole where the 2-bike add on would go. I’ve ordered multiple times from etrailer, and am consistently blown away by their service, website ease of use, and overall customer experience. They provide information you never knew you needed/wanted, and go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Fast and efficient shipping as well. Thanks!
by:
I bought my Thule XT rack from etrailer years ago and it’s been a great value. After all these years I can still source obscure Thule parts for my older rack from them and that’s saying something.

Easy to purchase online and their system provides order progress updates through delivery. The bad? They are local to me and as far as I know the are still not offering local will call pickup any longer and that’s a real shame for local folks..
by:
I had purchased a used Thule T2 bike carrier and noted that the end cap was missing. I checked the Internet for the replacement part and found etrailer.com was the easiest website to navigate AND had the cheapest cost (including shipping). Furthermore, it arrived two days EARLIER than estimated.

I also liked the personalized email correspondence from etrailer with a name and phone number to inform me of each step in the process. I couldn't be happier with the experience as will make etrailer.com one of my first internet searches from now on.
by:
I could not find these at my local bike stores. I found them available at etrailer . Perfect fit, great price, fast shipping. etrailer has great descriptions of their products with pictures.
by:
Product was just what I needed to replace a lost end cap for my bike carrier (Thule does not offer this part). Price was excellent and delivery prompt. In my case the shipping was the most expensive part of the order $6.99 seemed out of line for what this particular item.
by:
This end cap fit my T2 Bike carrier. It was delivered early and is exactly as described on the website. It goes in snug, which makes me think it will stay in for a long time, in fact I think this one is better quality than the one that came with the carrier. They are so inexpensive it is worth ordering a handful and important to have to keep rain out.
by:
eTrailer is the real deal!

Products arrived in a timely matter, were in great condition and worked perfectly. I'll definitely be replacing more Thule components on my racks through eTrailer.com.

Thanks George and team!
by:
factory replacement plug fits great and is still in my bike rack. cool.....
by:
etrailer.com always has great prices, and hard to find pieces for my Thule bike rack!
by:
Plastic end caps fit perfectly on my Thule bike carrier. Nice tight fit, easy to push in, will not pop out.
by:
Perfect fit. Part was hard to come by, but etrailer had them and at a good price. I bought two, so I’ll have a replacement when I loose it again. Thanks
by:
Bought for my Thule Roadway 915 XT and it works perfectly. It has a nice snug fit and I have no worries that it will not be falling out. I would buy this again.
by:
This end cap fits my Thule Expressway 995 bike carrier perfect.
by:
etrailer is always reliable and the best at getting the exact part you need. Thank you!
by:
Excellent service, item as described, fast shipping.
by:
This fits better than the one that came with the bike rack. I am thinking about ordering new ones for the ends
by:
Exactly what I needed, excellent quality and,as always, great service from Etrailer!
by:
The cap is what it is. Was a little surprised that I was unable to buy the latch separately to fix the rear wheel retention unit. But thule must not make it available. The part does the trick! great dealing with e trailer
