Locked roof rack-no keys!
#64
Posted in the other key thread but will try here too: Just bought a "new" H3, no bar keys, need to move bars and mount box to take daughter to school in a cpl weeks. Sp5 key/lock. Would be VERY grateful if someone could help with a copy, loan of key to copy, an old/extra key, anything!
Love my H3 (have wanted a Hummer forever!) And def digging this forum!

If so, even if you had the wrong key it should slide in, just wouldn't turn.
If you are confident on the key being the right match for the lock/bar I would soak it in WD40 and let it eat the dirt/salt/grime for a couple days. You've gotta use the straw to get it IN the lock and help blow crud loose. Dont use graphite and wd40, it just makes a sludge. It should eventually free up the lock. Once open/off, clean out the lock with brake cleaner to get rid of all the wd40, dry it out and then use powder graphite to keep it working well.
Worked for me a couple times...
If it doesnt work an alternative more aggressive method - you can use brake cleaner instead of wd40 to clean it out but you have to protect your paint etc REALLY well. Had to go this route on a Thule lockset once.
Good luck!
