Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at Etrailer. And today we'll be taking a look at our replacement part, which is the Thule M6 low hand knob for your Thule roof mounted carriers here at Etrailer. So this is a direct replacement knob for your Thule roof mounted carriers. And like what we have here is we have a kayak carrier, which is the Thule stacker, and you can see how we're using a knob for both the carrier itself, as well as the clamps used to clamp down the carrier. So if one of them gets lost, damaged, or is broken, this is what you would get to replace them.
This fits right onto your M6 carriage bolt, kind of like what we have right here. So if you don't have an M6 carriage bolt, this will not thread onto it and make sure that's what you're using to clamp down your roof mounted carriers. All you need to do is just pin it around the bolt. And that's pretty much all there is to installing this replacement knob. Now the thing about this wing nut is that the thread is kind of deep on the inside.
There is some space that you have to clear before it threads onto your bolt. So just to make sure that if you're using this to replace something lost, and you're not sure which bolt you need, or which replacement part you need, make sure you have enough thread on that bolt for this to fit onto. So from my experience of working with Thule roof mounted carriers is I definitely recommend picking up a couple of these as you get your accessory, just because it is really easy to lose these nuts because of once you do release them, I've dropped them several times onto our floor or on the roof of a vehicle. So just because of that, this is a great piece to have around as a replacement part for if you do lose, break or damage, your current knob that is on your roof mounted accessory. Again, this is designed for Thule roof mounted accessories.
This may or may not fit whatever other accessory you have, but as long as it has an M6 pattern on that fault, it probably will fit. And that was a look at our Thule replacement hand knob for your Thule roof mounted carriers. Again, this is the M6 low hand knob and you can find them here at Etrailer..

Excellent service! etrailer.com promptly received and shipped my order. I was surprised to received it the day following a holiday.
The product was delivered very fast and in a timely manner.. I WILL definitely be back if I ever need replacement parts...
Thank you very much..
Functionally equivalent to traditional wing-nuts.
Easier to use than traditional wing-nuts. No need to use a wrench. Downside is that these are substantially more expensive than traditional wind-nuts.
Great replacement part. Just make sure you research the size to make sure it will fit!
This is just what the part I needed for my kayak! The process was easy and I received an e-mail from etrailer as soon as it was shipped and they followed up on delivery. We don't get this kind of customer service any more!!! I will be kayaking soon - thanks etrailer. I will definitely use etrailer for all parts I need for hauling bikes and kayaks.
Ordered some Thule replacement parts (thumb nuts and carriage bolts), the standard parts for Thule bike holders. Arrived quickly and exactly as described. Much easier than running to a bike store to see what they have in stock and if they have the pieces in stock.
Wonderful customer service and timely delivery!
Somehow, the side tensioning knobs on my Thule Stacker 830 came off while driving. I searched for replacement knobs and found etrailer.com (your SEO is stellar). They had exactly what I needed and so I ordered a couple extra. It was an easy ordering process, timely delivery and great follow-up to ensure I was satisfied with the product and service. They will be my FIRST stop for all of my camping/hauling needs in the future!
Thanks for the fast shipping. It was great to find parts for my vehicle for using my Thule products for my Kayak. Great Store for Thule products.
etrailer is my go to company for any trailer or rack accessories or parts. Their price is always competitive, communications are great and shipping always quick.
I lost one of the knobs for my older model Thule J-racks. This replacement knob is perfect. Thanks.
replaced cracked plastic hand knobs on my Thule 878 Set-to Go saddle on my Thule roof rack for hauling kayak.
Perfect replacement parts to repair the deflector on my Thule carrier rack.
It was exactly as described and worked as needed. This was the only place that I could find a Thule brand knob. [online] had EOM knobs and I wanted to make sure that if fit and worked.
Great product looks exactly the same as the original ones

They still work great! Hardly even have to tighten them
This is an exact OM replacement part that was easy to find on etrailer.com. Although it is a part that needs to be replaced every few years it is hard to locate even on the Thule site. Price and shipping were good and the parts (I ordered extras) arrived as promised. I will definitely recommend this company and will return for rack or trailer parts.

Perfectly
Thanks for the fast and efficient shipment of replacement parts! Love my Thule kayak carrier!!!
Exactly the part I needed. Original qua lity
Website was easy to navigate and product descriptions were accurate. Shipping was quick. Good customer service.
Was just the part I was searching for.
Lost a knob on my Thule kayak rack - left racks on too long without checking tightness - my bad. Hunted for replacement and some spares. Googled around a bit and landed here - useful description and good price. Knobs fit like OEM equipment (which they well may be) and have served well over the past year. All good, zero complaints. Just a remineder, if you are going to keep your rack on all summer, tighten your knobs once a week!
This is the first survey in a long time, in which I am eager to provide a review! This was such a small order for Thule parts needed for one of our kayak racks. I'm amazed that there was no minimum required. The parts came sooner than expected, and have allowed for us to have a rack system that is as good as new.
Thanks to George for caring to do superb business for insignificant amounts. This will cause us to continue with etrailer.com in the future. You have been faithful in the small things, allowing for more substantial orders to come!
Initially etrailer.com sent the wrong part, mistakenly sending the M8 instead of the M6. Once contacted they sent the proper part and didn't require me to return the original piece, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that the original shipping was very delayed due to low staffing, then there was the product error and as a result we were unable to use our kayak racks and were forced to rent kayaks because ours were sitting unused in the garage due to the delayed shipping and wrong products. So, these couple of inconveniences ended up being rather costly for us. That said, etrailer.com did do the right thing by us, it just took a while.

Fine - no issues. When I installed the wing knobs I added a little glue glob to keep from losing them on the road again I originally lost them as a result of vibration and wind -they loosened up
