Thule Traverse/Evo Fit Pads — Corner-Specific Rubber Bases 853-2210 (IDs 47/48/49/50), bag 753207210 — Set of 4 for Clamp-On Foot Packs

Thule Traverse/Evo Fit Pads — Corner-Specific Rubber Bases 853-2210 (IDs 47/48/49/50), bag 753207210 — Set of 4 for Clamp-On Foot Packs

Condition: New old stock in sealed factory bag. Never opened or used. Bag label: HARDWARE 753207210 (09/00). Molded pad marks: 853-2210 and 47 / 48 / 49 / 50.

These are genuine Thule rubber base pads for clamp-on foot packs. The four pads are corner-specific—each shape is tuned for one door corner of a specific vehicle. They sit under the foot to protect paint and to match roof contour. Casting 853-2210 and bag 753207210 identify this as a Traverse-era pad set (used with 480/480R Traverse clamp feet and, in some cases, carried forward to Evo Clamp kits when geometry is identical). Pads only—no metal clips, no feet, no bars.

Features

• OEM Thule pads: casting 853-2210 (material mark PBBS+PP on each).
• Corner IDs: 47/48/49/50 (Left Front / Right Front / Left Rear / Right Rear as mapped in the original kit sheet).
• Paint protection + grip: high-durometer rubber compound supports load while protecting the finish.
• Exact-fit geometry: shaped for the vehicle specified by the original fit kit.
• Compatible systems: Thule 480/480R Traverse clamp feet; may also fit Evo Clamp feet when the associated fit kit reuses these pad shapes (verify).

What’s Included

• (4) Thule rubber base pads 853-2210 — IDs 47/48/49/50
• Factory sealed bag 753207210 (date code 09/00)

Most probable fitment

Audi TT 2-door (8N), ~2000–2006 — legacy kit instructions show pad molds 853-2210-47/-48/-49/-50 for this vehicle, paired with mixed 225/226 clips (400/400XT generation). These pad shapes also appear in some Traverse-era mappings, but Audi TT is the clearest match across documents.

Traverse/Evo-era pads may also cross over in some kits, but confirm against your vehicle’s fit map.

Applications / How they’re used

• Pads install between the clamp foot and the vehicle roof at each door opening.
• Each numbered pad goes to a specific corner; follow your fit-kit map to place them correctly.
• Replace missing/damaged pads in your kit, or complete a kit when you already have the correct metal door clips and foot pack.

Identification & Fit Notes (read first)

• These pads are from a specific vehicle fit kit. Thule’s Traverse/Evo kits pair pads with matching metal door clips.
• Pads (853-2210 / bag 753207210) do not by themselves tell the car; Thule reused pad molds across multiple vehicles.
• To ensure fit, match three items: pad casting, pad IDs 47–50, and the metal clips number listed on your vehicle’s fit sheet.

Cross-Referenced / Kit Context

• Pad casting: 853-2210 (Traverse-era).
• Bag number: 753207210 — Thule “Hardware” bag for a Traverse-era fit kit.
• Works with feet: 480 / 480R Traverse; check compatibility if using Evo Clamp.

Comparable Items

• Other Thule pad sets (e.g., 853-xxxx) used in Traverse/Evo kits—different corner numbers/shapes.
• Complete modern Evo Clamp “145xxx” fit kits if you prefer a brand-new, matched set for your specific vehicle.

Part of Larger System

• Requires: clamp feet (480/480R or Evo Clamp), vehicle-specific metal door clips, and load bars to form a complete rack.
