Thanks, this is a really useful video

[@TheSlowworms]

Thanks! You’ll have to get a bike rack when you get your van ☺️

[@scottdingle2394]

Answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you

[@TheSlowworms]

Ah that’s great, glad it helped 👍

[@rikloveridge128]

You sped up and didn't talk through the bits I was hoping to see (where it connects, fitments, tightenings, location of plastic protection).

[@TheSlowworms]

Oh, sorry 😕 because I had my friend there to help me I just got him to help me rest it in place, marked where I was going to put the protective strips, took the rack back off again and then stuck the strips down.

Really helpful video- any idea where to get replacement arms , I’ve got same rack but need spares

[@TheSlowworms]

Thanks David! No sorry, I don’t have a clue. You could try and see if the Fiamma Carry Bike Pro arms would work because I know you can get those separately or Thule might sell some for their bike rack that might fit.
You could try and make some with some pipe if you still have the old ones

Thanks for the vid, where did you get the plastic film from please?

[@TheSlowworms]

No worries Tom! I got it from eBay. I can’t find the exact one but if you search “clear protective vinyl film” you should find it 🙂

I'd love a link or description of those new straps u have for the wheels. Please.. Great vid 👍

[@TheSlowworms]

Did you find any replacement straps in the end?
