Toyota geniune roof rack

Hi All

I have recently become the proud owner of a 08 Prado 120 Series. I love the car!

I wanted to install an Adventure Kings awning and I believe you have to put the brackets on the roof racks? The problem is I don't have the keys to roof rack locks because the previous owner lost them, therefore they can't be removed to be drilled. Does anyone know if there is a work around to this?

Thanks heaps.

Check out the www. rhinorack.com.au site. Rhino produced racks for Toyota genuine accessories. So you may be able to contact Rhino for advise and replacement keys or parts.

I had the same problem when I got my car, genuine roof racks but no key. Look at the locks, there is a 5 digit number, I gave this to the local locksmith and he made up replacement keys. About $20 from memory and they work perfectly.
