The rack in your photo is the Yakima Raptor. We do sell a replacement strap for that bike rack. The Replacement Rattler Wheel Straps for Yakima Bike Carriers (QTY 2). part # Y02082, has a tab that slides into the groove underneath the tray of your Yakima Raptor.

I have included a product description link and a demo video of the straps below.
