Replacement Tamperproof Wrench Tool for Thule Roof Racks
Question:
Hi, Happy Easter! I have these set and would like to know what is the right size of a star bit for the screws. Unfortunately I lost the tool that came with it and I am planning to buy one at local store or online. All I need is the size of the star or torx. These screws are tamper proof - there is a pin in the middle. I need to get a bit or a tool which has a hole in the middle but I do not know the size. Please if can someone find out what is the right size. Thank you.

We have two tamperproof wrench options part # 853-3496 which is an M5 tamperproof Allen wrench. Or, if what you have is the Torx style head with the center removed then you would need the part # 853-5270-02. This is what the part # TH7520970001 comes with.
