Replacement Tongue End Cap For a Yakima EXO SwingBase

Question

Question:

I need a new ‘skid plate’, the black nylon sloped piece that allows the swing arm to raise up into alignment with the fixed arm on my Yakima EXO swinging arm trailer hitch mount frame. This skid plate has worn down after our first season of use and it has exposed the metal tube under it. Can I purchase a replacement part for this worn out skid plate?

You are going to need the Replacement Tongue End Cap # Y96KV for your Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR. This is the sloped portion(skid plate) of the base.
