Needing Additional Hardware for my Thule Ski Rack Mounting Kit

Question:

Hi - I recently purchased 7533998 for my rack, though it looks like Im missing some of the hardware needed, particularly to some of the nuts to connect the mounting hardware to the rack itself. The instructions show 2 nuts or spacers that werent included in the kit. THanks

The Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # 7533998 comes with 8 screws of one size, 4 screws of another length, 4 washers, and 2 tools. If you need the round nut that you saw in the instructions as an additional security measure, then you will want the Replacement Round Nut for Thule Carriers # 853-5439. You will likely need 4 of these so you have one for each mounting bracket. You will not need any additional parts like bushings according to Thule.

Question:

The nuts recommend are needed, but unfortunately I still do not have all the parts I need to mount the rack. In looking at the instructions included with the original kit I purchased, it looks like I'm missing some sort of additional nut and washer (photo attached). Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

The spacers and washers you need are included in the Mounting Kit for Thule Pull Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # TH7520970001 and unfortunately are not available separately.
