Question:
Hi There, my wife bought the Thule Rack TH9027 10 years ago. It is pretty rusty and its decal is all worn off. What would you recommend to fix it? Do you sell the decal? Thank you

Hello Mauricio, thanks for reaching out. While we do not offer a decal specifically for the old TH9027 Thule Apex rack, we do have one decal, part # TH26PW that could be used. Technically this decal is made for Thule cargo boxes, but it would fit in the upright portion of your bike rack. It is going to be smaller than the original decal, and white lettering instead of black. Still this will be our closest option for a decal.
If you can get ahold of Thule directly, they may be able to send you a more similar decal to what you have now.
As far as the rust, you could try sanding down any rusty areas and repainting them as needed. I bet if you were to sand down the upright portion, repaint it and add a new decal it would have things looking nice. Same with the black swing away portion.
The TH9027 Apex was discontinued back in like 2019. It was replaced with the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT.
I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can do feel free to reply below and I am happy to get back to you.
