Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the end cap with the track opening at the end of the 598 bike rack arm. Ensure that any debris is cleared from the track before snapping it into position. This part is exclusively compatible with the Thule ProRide 598. For care, keep the area around the end cap clean and free of grime to ensure the snap-fit teeth maintain their grip. If the end cap becomes loose due to extreme vibration, check that the internal track teeth are not deformed, as the plastic friction-fit relies on the integrity of the rack's own metal frame.
