Question:

I have Endcap for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars. There is a screw that needs to be tightened 1/4 turn. To do this, looks like it would use a specific tool as to not dig into the plastic as you turn. That is, if I use a normal flathead screwdriver, Im sure I will ruin this. Do you offer such a tool?

In regards to the Replacement Endcap for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, part # 752-2867002 for passenger side or part # 752-2867001 for driver side, there is a tab on the bottom of the bar you must push-in and then you can pull the old end cap out. In order to install the new end cap, you'll just simply choose the correct side and slide it into place. The end caps do have a snug fit so it will take a bit of force to push/pull but it's certainly possible. I have attached a video for you which shows the process.

I am not aware of any screws or other hardware required to install or remove the above end caps.
