Have used it several times and it is all I expected. Good product.



by:

I was able to get all of the parts I needed, altogether in one place. Get prices. Fast shipping. Excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend and use them again if I needed anything else.



by:

Exactly what I needed!



by:


Even though the part is made of high
impact plastic it is still prone to stretching and bending while being used on the bicycle rack. This has caused a stretching of the two prongs and eventual disengagement of the part to the rack. This was the reason for my purchase of more of the same part. The replacement part only solved the problem until the replacement was also stretched to the point of being unable to do what it was intended to do.



by:

I needed a replacement sway bar. I called Rei, they didn't have it, but referred me to eTrailer. Placed the order, product arrived within a week, 'nuf said.



by:

Perfect replacement; I'm only sorry I lost the original that came with my bike rack but very happy to have promptly and efficiently received a replacement.



by:

Easy to find, flawless shipping

I went to install it and learned that it would not accommodate bikes with fenders. I returned it and got a Swagman which is working out fine. I wish Thule had been more descriptive in the first place.



by:

I ordered these items because I needed replacement parts. The bike rack is awesome and these are just parts that wear out and need replacing. Finding them at this site was easy and ordering was simple; delivery was rocket fast!! Great service and communications throughout the process were welcome. I'll be ordering again when the need arises. Highly recommend etrailer.com!!



by:

I ordered these replacement cradles from Thule directly. Initially they said they were shipped, but when they didn't appear I called them and they told me they were on back order. I waited approximately 6 months, calling every now and then to follow up, and finally gave up. I then ordered them from etrailer.com and had them within a few days! And, they work perfectly! Don't bother ordering from Thule directly, just use etrailer!



by:

Very nice product thank you.



by:

This part was removed from our Thule bike rack. We were so disappointed when we discovered it as we had recently purchased the rack earlier in the year. etrailer was the only place where we get a replacement part. We ordered an extra just in case & the ordering, communication and shipping process was very smooth. Part arrived when expected and fit perfectly. Thank you etrailer!



by:

Perfect replacement for my Raceway Thule bike, appears to be the original product from Thule …. Saved me a few hundred dollars as I had lost the original straps, anti-sway cradle and also the key which locked the bike rack. Without these replacements this particular bike rack is completely useless. etrailer did an excellent job with shipping pronto and all the replacement products are original from Thule. Will do business again !!!!



by:

I ordered this replacement anti-sway cradle and it fits perfectly. This is the one flaw in an otherwise quality product. The Thule 9002 Pro is stable and easy to use trunk lid bike mount. The anti-sway cradle hinges are plastic and applying the straps firmly to the bike frame can cause the hinges to bend out of shape. Once they bend out of shape, they no longer stay in place and are useless. etrailer.com made ordering replacements easy and they weren't expensive. Good service!



by:

Great service!

Unfortunately this piece just did not want to stay on the rack. Eventually in transport it fell off and I lost it. Im disappointed I’m down to just one cradle again. But I hate to re-purchase it and have the same thing happen.



by:

This seems to be exactly like the original part - same design, same material, fits well. The price was low enough that I bought two - which is a good thing because another of the original 4 is also showing signs of deformation. I think part of the problem is the Summer heat in southwest Texas. Thule should start making these from diecast Aluminum but until then, I'll keep buying replacements here.

The anti-sway cradle replacements seem to be holding up fine, perhaps better than the originals. However, knowing they are a weak point in the Thule design, perhaps Im taking better care of them.



by:

I bought a used Thule bike rack and two of the anti-sway cradles we’re missing. Found exactly the parts I needed and received it quickly. Thanks!
