Bike rack spare part needed.

[RowLarry]

Hi all.

I'm missing one of the end pieces off my VW bike rack, which I assume has fallen off or been pinched at some point.

I have spent 2 hours searching the interwebs (I'm not kidding) and so far haven't found anything.

Has anyone any spare ones I could purchase, or know of any spares? I've even considered giving it to a 3D printer to try and replicate.

Any advice welcome.

Is it a T5 or T6 style rack?

Might be worth messaging this guy to see if he had any luck

Hi, I’m missing one of the end caps, I’ve searched on web, but no luck. Appreciate if anyone knows where I can get a replacement? Photo highlighted below... TIA

@MAT@VWT5UPGRADES may be able to help. They supplied my bike rack in black so they are at least used to dismantling them, maybe they have some bits leftover, I know I usually do whoever I take something apart

I can't believe that didn't come up in my googling, many thanks!

@RowLarry It might also be worth contacting the VWCalifornia Club shop, as they seem to stock some spares for this rack.

Mrs Loz said the monkeys at Longleat removed a couple of those last Thursday when she was there, saw the owner examining the damage in the carpark..

My tailgate mounted four cycle bike rack has been damaged and I need to replace the LH bracket which is riveted to the frame and when the rack is down it should clip into the bracket
Are these readily available as a spare part and how easy of a job to replace it?
Thanks in advance

I'm missing the same bit (the end cap for one of the rails) but for a T5 style rack. Now, these ones seem really difficult to find. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to source a replacement?
