This part fit perfectly with the bolt that I ordered from etrailer. Great quality product from a great business. The service received was superb. They answered my questions promptly. They sent me emails indicating what the status of my order was and when it was delivered. Would order from etrailer again!
I bought these as replacements when I bought new U bolts since mine had rusted badly. I would definitely recommend replacing both at the same time If rusted since there is no way to clean rust or other gunk like sand from inside the nut. Both parts shipped the same day as I ordered and fit perfectly (as OEM parts should!). This past year has been a breeze mounting my carrier without fighting the rusty parts.
Perfect replacement hardware for Thule roof cargo box.
We bought a used Sears X-Cargo Sport 20 Cargo Carrier but it was missing 3 of these wingnuts. Searched online and found etrailer.com had the most comprehensive details about which part would fit as well as the best price. Best of all, the shipping was very reasonable. Excellent experience thank you.
A fraction of the cost at stores in Canada. And makes replacement of lost roof top carrier accessories really affordable
After I dropped and broke one of the 4 nuts holding my bike racks to the car, I purchased 4 new ones to replace the old, brittle originals. They came in a couple days and fit just like the originals. Thanks etrailer!
Local hardware and bulk material stores didn't carry products or couldn't take the time to post that that they did on their website - etrailer.com did! etrailer.com online specifications gave me the confidence that materials were what I needed. Materials were direct replacements as expected.
Order was packaged and shipped the evening that the order was placed. I was able to start the trip on time and without the need to rig something together.
Thank you etrailer.com!
Great product selection, excellent descriptions / pictures on website, fast shipping, highly recommend!
Replacement parts for my Thule cargo box as the original parts were cracking and worn...no worries on vacation!
Replacement U bolts and wingnuts for my Sears Cargo carrier were impossible to find until I found etrailer. My old ones were stripped. These were a perfect replacement. Good prices, fast shipping and UPS tracking made this a perfect transaction. Highly recommend etrailer.
So happy to find this item!
I need a replacement parts for a SportRack rooftop cargo box I purchased years ago from [store]. It appears [store] does not sell these or parts for them anymore. The part number for the SportRack brackets we’re identical to these, except these have a “TH“ in front of the part number. They worked perfectly when they arrived and are exactly what I needed.
Parts are good as usually comes from Thule. However ordering from Thule directly is not an easy process and for parts in particular. etrailer has very good site and easy process of finding parts and I appreciate that. Plus, I got all emails tracking my order, and that is great work. Thank you very much. Next order for Thule things I'll do on etrailer as well.

Etrailer has some pretty obscure parts for a relatively old cargo carrier that I purchased second hand. Aside from trying to match what I needed to the product numbers, the service was good, the delivery was quick, and the parts were exactly what I needed.
I own a Thule Big Mouth Roof Mounted Bike Rack - Frame Clamp - TH599XTR. The design comes with 2 small nuts to attach the rack to the roof bars. This wing nut makes it much easier and quicker to put the rack on the car roof.
These are a perfect replacement for the my roof top carrier "U" mounts.

The wingnut is still working. Its used on a roof top cargocarrier, and was the perfect replacement for the original part.
My Thule Rooftop Cargo Box is 15+ years old and the carriage bolts had rusted so bad I used a bolt cutter to remove them. The rust had also made the wing nuts useless. I searched local hardware stores and the big box retailers (HD & L) but no one had the pieces I needed to replace them. I resigned myself to adapting the attachments and rigging up something that would work.
On a whim, I searched Thule Replacement parts on the web (I know, I should have done that first) and eTrailer came up with exactly what I needed!
Within a few days I had the parts in hand and the Cargo Box is good as new! I'll be coming back when it comes time order a hitch...eTrailer is a great find!
Like the communication, 12 minutes to from order received to shipped. Thanks
Exactly the same as the originals. Order came in a timely manner.
Exactly as advertised. Used it to mount an old Yakima space booster cargo box, and it fits perfectly in the existing box mounting holes and on round or square bars. You can't beat the price anywhere.

Excellent. Just moved the box to another vehicle yesterday and still in great shape.
Was the correct part I needed. Working great!
My experience as a customer has been amazing. First, I was just happy to find custom parts for my Thule roof top storage. It's an older model so I am not always sure that newer parts are compatible. The price was fair, and sometimes you just need a couple pieces to make something like new again. These wingnuts are very convenient for taking the storage on an off of my car, but they crack over time. It's possible to DIY, but then you lose some of the ease of the shape, or it might not match the set--- which for me, I tend to notice those things.
I am very pleased with my Thule carrier which has lasted a long time, but happy I found etrailer to replace the critical infrastructure :). Now I get to enjoy and extra long lasting product to it's fullest.
The delivery was quick and the customer service people and experience is pretty amazing. They don't bombard you with advertising.
Not the exact fastener to replace my lost wingnut..but it works just fine!
Excellent replacement wingbut. Shipped out same day and arrived within 2 days. Would definitely recommend
replacement part worked perfectly. It is so nice to be able to find parts for a 25+. year old Thule rack!
Got these replacement knobs for my Sears X-Cargo carrier and they worked wonderfully.
