FAQs

Is this for one light or both sides?

This is a replacement lens for one side of the Thule 9402 / 3 light assembly only.

Do I need to buy a left and a right lens?

You only need to purchase the lens for the side that is damaged. If both sides are damaged, you will need to purchase two lenses.

Does this come with bulbs or screws?

No, this part is only the light lens. Bulbs and any necessary mounting screws are typically retained from the original assembly or need to be sourced separately if lost.

How do I know if I need a left or right lens?

When looking at the back of the bike rack as if you were driving, the right side lens is on your left, and the left side lens is on your right. Your damaged lens will determine which one you need.

Can I use this lens on a different Thule bike rack model?

This lens is specifically designed for the Thule 9402 / 3 model. Using it on a different model may not provide a correct fit and could compromise safety.

What should I do if the lens cracks during installation?

If the lens cracks during installation, it may indicate excessive force was used or the alignment was incorrect. You will need to replace it with a new lens.

Troubleshooting

New lens does not fit securely

Ensure you have the correct lens for the Thule 9402 / 3 model. Verify that no part of the old lens or adhesive is obstructing the fitting. Check if original screws are needed for securing the lens.

Light still not working after lens replacement

The issue may lie with the bulb or the wiring, not the lens itself. Check the bulb for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the wiring connections to the light assembly.

Difficulty removing the old lens

Use a plastic trim removal tool or a very thin, flat object to gently pry the old lens away from the housing. Be careful not to scratch the surrounding area or damage the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This lens is specifically designed as a spare part for the Thule 9402 / 3 light assembly. Ensure your bike rack model matches this to guarantee a proper fit.

  3. Align the new Thule 9402 / 3 light lens (THS044) with the light housing.
