Toyota Rav 4 roof bars - lost key

womble51

I need a replacement key for the roof bars on my Rav 4 but toyota can no longer supply one. The key number is 25 so if anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful.

Local locksmith. Or get a screwdriver on them, Only weak metal and plastic.

Can't find a locksmith local to me who is prepared to work on the bars while they are still on the roof. I don't want to butcher the bars as I would like to refit them at a later date.

This Rav4World thread seems to imply that they may be the same as Thule locks.

There is even a link there on how to pick the lock.

If they are the same as Thule, there is a Thule number 25 key currently for sale on ebay. See here.
