Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings

Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking together at a Replacement Square Head Bolt for the Thule Fairings. So folks, you're gonna get quantity one, one T-style bolt. And, again, this is for a Thule Fairing. Pretty simple replacement part.

I'll throw us an image up there with the dimensions. About 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square on the head of the T bolt. About an inch-long usable threads. Overall about 1.19 inches long, and the thickness is .23, almost 1/4 inch but not quite. Well, folks, this will wrap it up for our quick look at the Replacement Thule Square Head Bolt for the Thule Fairings.

I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings - 853-208909

Average Customer Rating:  4.9 out of 5 stars   (98 Customer Reviews)


by:

Great product and exactly what I was looking for. Used this product to mount my Thule 593 Wheel On to my Yakima Whispbar on my 2013 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. Very simple setup and probably took about a total of ten minutes. I used this product along with the low profile wing nut that is already supplied with the Thule 593 Wheel On to maintain a clean look with no bolts or adapters visible. This setup will help with those looking for sun roof / moon roof clearance with low profile bars such as Whispbars and Aerobars!



by:

I have the Yakima Jetstream crossbars and just needed some M6 t-slot bolts, but did not want to buy the $20 Yakima Item # Y03098 with the extra plastic brackets. These Thule bolts fit the T-slot in the Yakima Jetstream bars perfectly.



by:

Exactly the parts I needed. Should have gone here in the first place. Even local stores that claim to be Thule dealers did not have the parts. Thanks etrailer!



by:

this part is prefect for the modification I use it for in my metal work as I make these wheels and metal arms in my shop and need this part to fill a hole in the metal that is pre drilled in oval shape where I do not need it so this fits perfectly in there!



by:

eTrailer has always come through on hard to find Thule accessories and parts. They ship quickly and the order is always right. I highly recommend eTrailer for any truck or RV accessories.



by:

Used to fit a Thule Pulltop 726 to Factory MB GLK roof bars (made by Thule) using channel mounting. The bolts were slightly too long and interfered with the pulltop functionality. I used a couple of metal washers for spacers to ensure a proper fit and to retain the functionality of the Pulltop.

Thank you for the comment! We do offer different lengths of the T-Bolts from different Xadapt kits, such as from the Xadapt2, it sounds like a shorter T-Bolt would have prevented the need for the washers.



by:

Stock up on these T-bolts, not just for fairings. You can use them on any load bars with a slot that will take T-bolts. Fits my OEM Audi load bars perfectly. I use them for a Thule Big Mouth bike rack. No need to order the Xadapt 2 kit. This is a bargain at $1.00 apiece.

Still working really well one year later. A really good buy.



by:

Exactly what I needed to fit old accessories to my aerobars. I had a set of old Thule ski racks that I wanted to mount directly to the bars and not use the adapter "clamshell style" clamps. I slid these bolts into the T slot on the aerobars, put the threaded end through the bottom of the ski rack, then bolted them up with some washers and locknuts. I now have a lower profile ski rack, and they are more rigidly mounted to the crossbars.

I would suggest these bolts for anyone looking to mount non-standard things to your aerobars with the T slot. Just be sure to get the right bolts. I believe the threads are standard M6 threads.



by:

Wonderful service and a part that I couldn't find elsewhere at a reasonable price. I am mounting a Rhino Foxwing on my van and needed these for the mounting modifications I was making. They are perfect. Thank you!!!

Great!!!



by:

This is pretty much the universal "attach stuff to your base bars" bolt. I got these as a replacement bolts for my peloton bike rack and for my thule snowboard rack. They can also be used to attach things that are not thule, in most cases. Etrailer was great to work with.

Great for:
Aeroblades
Audi OEM roof rack (produced by thule)
Peloton Bike Rack bolts
4 top Universal Ski/snowboard rack bolts



by:

These fit perfectly in my Audi-branded, Thule-made roof rack. Weirdly the bolts for my BMW-branded, Thule-made roof rack were just slightly too wide. I wish the threaded portion of the bolt were a little longer, I'm using them in a 20-ish year old Thule Weekender box and the plastic strap holders that serve as the washers are pretty thick. These are long enough to work but another 1/8th - 1/4 inch would make them a bit easier to work with.



by:

Perfect screws to adapt my Thule bike racks to my stock 2016 vw golf roof racks.



by:

I bought these for use on my Thule-DeWalt truck rack. They will work, but the bolt is smaller diameter than the orignials. These may be made for the smaller Thule track racks.

This was the only place I could find the bolt heads to fit inside the track - so Thanks etrailer for carrying them, and especially for your fast service.

Etrailer also carries a stainless bolt that looks similar; I'll check out the diamter of this bolt to see if its larger.



by:

Works perfect putting my attachments on my Yakima Whispbar rack! I'm so glad I found this site. Super helpful, quick and all those random parts you didn't know you ever needed but that make your life easier. Thanks!



by:

I used these fasteners to attach the third brake light to a 1999 BMW M Coupe. The square head fit perfectly. Once washers and bolts were secure, I used a Dremel tool to cut the bolt down. I found the bolt when using the phrase "BWM square head bolt" searching the Internet.

Fast delivery and cost-effective because the OEM part had to be shipped from Germany to the States at higher cost per bolt, higher shipping charges, and much longer wait time.



by:

Wow! Great price (absolutely the lowest I could find either via the internet or locally) and fast delivery. Super satisfied! I'm sure I'll be back!

Still working just fine!



by:

Fits my 2004 GTI OEM VW roof rack perfectly. I purchased these to mount custom and retrofitted accessories safely and securely. I know, for sure, that these t-bolts will fit all OEM VW roof racks from (At least) 1993-2021, regardless of car model.



by:

good quality, arrived quickly, easy to install...20 year old roof rack is as good as new again!



by:

Works with the T-Tracks well, and much more solidly connected than other footings. Use with surf racks to replace the strap feet. Now it is lower profile, less wind noise, and firmer connection. It is also fairly easy to remove with a ratchet, and is still locked to the roof when the rack is locked shut.



by:

These are perfect for the racks that have a track to slide your accessories into. I bought a bunch of these and stuck them onto all of my accessories. Then I just grab what I need, and put it on the rack - no messing around with screwing this into each accessory. Why not - they are cheap.



by:

Work good for me I heard he already had Factory roof rails on my truck canopy I was installing a solar panel and there's some weird size that fit the tracks9



by:

I used this to replace the strap feet for my Thule double decker surf/paddle board carrier so that they sit flush in my AeroBlade T-Track. Is much sturdier, quieter, and looks much better. I needed to cut the bolt shorter to allow the strap to fit inside the device, but was easy enough to do.



by:

this is the proper bolt to utilize within the track of the Thule AeroBlades so that one can mount universal brackets to mount an ARB awning. Add a couple of washers and a nylox nut to complete this task.

Thanks to eTrailer for all their help and support.



by:

The square head bolt fit perfectly on the wind fairing. Make sure to buy the replacement 3-wing hand knob for Thule bike, board and ski carriers (used to secure it), because it comes separate.



by:

A year has passed and these are still the same great quality product.
