Recommended Adhesive For Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack On 2019 Ram ProMaster

Published 04/28/2021

Question:

I plan on installing the rack on a 2019 Ram Promaster 3500 a Winnebago Travato 2020KL. I understand Thule recommends a specific adhesive. Would it be possible to use Manus Bond 75-AM instead?

I checked the instrucions for the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack # TH302013 which states you should use one of the following adhesives: Dekalin MS 5, SIKA 252 or Terostat MS937. I looked up the strength of the Manus Bond 75-AM adhesive and it may work fine, but it is rated lower in strength compared to the recommended adhesives so I would stick with one of the recommended adhesives to be on the safe side.
