Bring your gear with confidence

Thule is dedicated to providing exceptional products that are quality tested and guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship.

Thule Guarantee

The Thule Guarantee will cover any defect or damage affecting your Thule product. Even damage caused by normal wear and tear or the natural discoloration of materials for 2 (two) years from the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The Thule Guarantee gives you specific legal rights. It does not affect any statutory rights that you have as a purchaser of a defective product.

Thule reserves the right to:

  • Repair the item falling under the terms of the Thule Guarantee
  • Replace the item if the damage or defect cannot be repaired
  • Offer a similar product of comparable value, or refund the price paid, if we cannot replace with the same model

The Thule Guarantee does not cover defects resulting from conditions beyond Thule’s control. These include, but are not limited to, misuse, overloading, or from failure to assemble, mount or use the product or its accessory in accordance with Thule’s written instructions, guidelines, and safety text. Nor does it cover damage to the user’s vehicle, electronic devices, cargo, or to any other person or property.
