Roof rack on 2001 Forester

Featured Replies

Just a quick one...

Should my key for my car also unlock the bars on my roof rack? Everyone keeps saying my master key should unlock the roof rack as well but when I have tried it doesn't fit. :confused:

I wouldn't think so. What kind of a rack is it? Subaru? I think yakima makes them and if so it uses little lock cylinders that can be removed/replaced etc:

It's nice because you can get a set of 6 or 8 or whatever and then have the same key open everything.

My 2002 Forester has different keys for the roof-rack and car.

 

The roof-rack key is a 'Yale'-type (similar to a front-door key), but smaller. There's no way that the car key would even fit into the rack.

I bought my 01 Forester used and it did not include the roof rack key. I contacted the dealer with the number on the lock cylinder and they cut me one - didn't even charge me even though I did not buy the car from them.
