Slight incident with thule bike rack
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 8:27 am
Long story but to cut it short a cow decided that the nice corners of the bike rails on the bike rack would make a nice scratching post.
The rack was very securely attached but is now over to one side, the bottom left 'hook' is no longer under the tailgate lip, and the top left strap is I think extended but certainly not right.
Now I can't quite remember how to fit it as we fitted it a few years ago when we purchased it from a popular member on here, and it has started on ever since.
My first thought was to undo the locks at the bottom to back off the hooks, unfortunately there is a lock on both threads. I have the keys for these but I can't actually turn them, so I've soaked them with wd40. If I can't info the locks is there a way to reposition it without destroying the lock?
