Our Bones arms are made of injection molded plastic. The straps on the top of the Bones arms are placed during this molding process, and are fused into the arm so they cannot be replaced with this accessory.
I Need to Replace the Top Hold-Downs on My Bones Rack. Why Won’t the Replacement Rack Straps on the Accessory Page Work?

I have a new saris bones 2. One of the straps is not connected to the bike rack frame. Can I do this manually or should the rack have come fitted with it.
I find it crazy that these top straps aren't replaceable. I guess my only option is to buy a replacement arm? I bought a Bones 2 used, and while it was pointed out there was one broken strap, I never would have thought it can't be easily replaced. That's a pretty bad design. There had to have been an alternative to locking those straps in when injection molding the arms. I'm thinking a couple sturdy rubberized straps crisscrossed may work.
I love my bones2, but designing the top straps so that they can’t be replaced is simply a rip-off. I can’t believe you would deliberately screw customers that way. Mine are shot and need replaced. Guess I’ll just look for a different brand. Damned if I’m gonna let you screw me twice.
