    If you have the serial number of the keys you should be able to get them from either Audi, VW, or Thule. If not, they should also have a master key that can open your rack system. If they don't, check out your local Thule dealer(not a chain sporting goods store). They may have a master available.

    Thanks! I went to a lock smith in Garden Grove. They knew their stuff and got me 2 new keys for $10.50 within 10 minutes.

    Anyone who lost their keys or needs extra, I recommend Hills Brothers Lock in Garden Grove.

    @imsupernoob, Thank you for this your locksmith recommendation. That post was nearly 10 yrs ago - 2010. I purchased a CPO Audi and the dealership did not have the keys to the roof rack. I searched via google to replace the cylinder or last resort replace the rack, glad I found this post

    I drove my Audi to Hill's Bros Lock & Safe, 9177 Garden Grove Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92844 and they made me a double sided key ~$40.00
