Broken Step

[PeterE1947]

To-day in the Forest of Dean I managed to damage the slide-out step. We pulled over in a very narrow road to allow a car to squeeze by. Unfortunately I did not see a "huge" boulder in the undergrowth which the step hit with a huge bang followed by a huge bang from the rear which turned out to be the back wheel alloy. This "only" suffered superficial damage but the step had a dent in the front and the plastic/rubber corner piece missing. Does anybody know if this corner piece can be sourced and if not how to replace the "step plate"? The step is a Thule slide out.

If it still works, I call my dints character and leave well alone

changing the whole step sounds expensive and complicated

Google "Thule Step End Cap". About £16 on Ebay. There are even glow in the dark versions.

Thank you for your replies. I had no intention of replacing the whole step just the bit you stand on. Cheers 68c that is exactly what I was after. Incidently,various Thule Step Parts suppliers do not show that part as available!

Yeah I've seen the plastic end caps for sale .even in night glo .
If the alloy is damaged and it's not something you can tackle a car repair bodywork garage could possibly panel beat it straight for you.
