Roof Rack Replacement Key

[cjdavis7782]

I was able to get the core out,, i had one get damaged. Not sure it it happened with pressure on it when unlocking/locking, but knew something was wrong when the tensioner would stay down when locked. you can see were it is bent.

Anyone figure out who makes this cores? Yakima cores don't fit (had a few on hand),,, and Thule's don't look the same either.

if you pull yours watch out for the two little springs inside.. if your core isn't bent, I believe you should be able to press down on that retaining ring and pull the core straight out

Consult a local locksmith. In my experience they have always been extremely reasonable for replacement keys or rekeying of lock cylinders. They may be able to pick the lock you have if you lost the key, remove it, and then rekey it. Possibly. Or at least pick it so you can remove it and then install an OEM replacement part ordered through GM.

SO I broke one of my cylinders getting the rack off in frozen conditions.
It doesnt look like anyone has found a replacement yet in this thread.
Can anyone speak to using them without the locking cylinder?
Or are these just garbage now?

Odd the dealers are clueless. I found this on the GM Accessories website:

Q: What happens if I lose the key that locks and unlocks my roof rack cross rails?​

A: You can visit your dealer and reference your roof rack cross rail lock code to obtain a replacement key.​

Since the dealers are clueless, I would send an email to the Accessories folks and ask them why the dealer can’t find any key part numbers. Maybe can at least find the part number for you.
