Does the Replacement Locking Knob TH79JV Fit the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack?

Question

Question:

Hello, We have a Thule easy fold XT and need a replacement Locking knob for the hitch and a new lock as well. I believe the part number for the knob is TH79JV. We were wondering if the lock/key comes in a 1 count? Thanks

Hey Brandi. I checked with Thule and their Replacement Locking Knob item # TH79JV does not work with the EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202. I am sorry but we do not have a replacement for that knob.
