My Thule roof racks won’t lock, I think the plastic part that the lock hooks on has worn away? I have just purchased the racks secondhand

There should be some sort of latch that locks each crossbar.

How do Ireplace and get my licence plate lights to work on my 1998 A-4 1.8 quantro

It attaches to the factory roof rails if you have them. If your vehicle doesn't have those, then you need the gutter mount feet for your Thule rack.

Unscrew the knobs at each end of the load bars. Make sure they are unlocked or they will not unscrew. That will loosen the clamps on your rain gutters or factory roof bars of your vehicle. Then you can just lift the Thule load bars off your vehicle.

Thule customer service is excellent and they will be happy to give you the exact answer you are looking for.

Hi Phil,

I would check with Rack Ultra Group who have several locations in Quebec including Montreal.

Good luck.

Hi,

Any Thule dealer should be able to sort this one out for you.

Have a look through Thule's website to find the model and possibly you could get it online if it's sold as a user changeable accessory..

not specific for snowboard buy general rack use : 1. The Lighter the Better Most minivan roof racks are designed for carrying lightweight objects -- like skis, small ladders, well-secured aerodynamic cargo containers (like those offered by Thule) and other light loads. 2. Mind the Center of Gravity Putting heavy boxes, bulky luggage and other weighty objects on your roof will raise the center of gravity of your vehicle, which could increase the chances of a rollover during emergency maneuvering or in the event of an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) also encourages drivers to follow auto manufacturer guidelines for roof rack usage. * Rollover Risk: Load Vehicles Properly [NHTSA] 3. Strap and Secure Improperly secured roof cargo can also fly off and strike vehicles travelling behind you, sometimes with tragic results. Remember: Only put lightweight objects on your roof rack, secure cargo properly with tie-downs and strong cord, and consider purchasing an aerodynamic cargo container if you plan on using your roof rack to frequently carry light loads.

like ANY roof rack cargo, it will be cumbersome. is it safe? it depends if you installed it properly and how fast you drive. i carried a pw50 (standing up)on top of my wifes rx300 from illinois to california...it didnt budge or made severe noises.
