FAQs
Is this kit compatible with all Thule bike cases?

Does the kit come with installation instructions?
The kit is designed to be a direct swap, but users should always reference the Thule exploded-view diagram for their specific case model.
Do I need special tools to replace the skid pads?

How do I know if my skid pads need replacing?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this kit, you should first consult the official Thule RoundTrip spares diagram associated with your specific case model. Ensure you have the necessary hand tools required to remove the existing fasteners. When performing the replacement, tighten screws or mounting bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specifications—do not over-torque, as this may damage the internal mounting inserts. To maintain your skid pads, periodically wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove grit and grime, which can act as an abrasive during transit.
