Help Needed, Roof Bar Removal...

[MrsMoose]

Hi, I have just got a 2005 Corolla Verso, it came with roof bars fitted. Useful, but noisy! So, full instructions, a long Allen key were provided but not the key to the locking covers. Ordered new key/set of locking covers from Toyota but came with completely different key. Aargh!

Their solution, book the car in for them to essentially forcibly remove bars.

We just want to find the right key.

Looking for key #82, anyone have one or any ideas on how to acquire one?

Coming up with nothing so far. Don't want to pay someone to just hack them off, but don't want to start hacking at them until I've tried every means of finding the right key. It can't be that hard, right? Have written a nice letter to the previous owner in case they have it lying around but nothing back yet.

Flipping 'eck, a bit of googling and I think they will work. Just ordered them. Problem solved for £2.25. Thank you very much!! Sanity restored.
