Packed the car and drove down to the Pyrenees, stayed at my sister's house for 2 nights then we all drove into Spain to go camping for a week.

Guess which idiot left the keys for the bike rack in his shorts that he was wearing to travel down in, that are now still in France.....

Managed to 'unlock' the ratchet locks with a screwdriver, but will probably now need to replace them, any one know the best place for Atera Strada spares?

Just Google, there's only half a dozen keys.

My 2 fit eachother even though different

I'll try the key in the locks when I get back to France next Sunday, hopefully they still work, but assuming I might need to replace the lock barrel.

Wouldn't surprise me if the barrels are generic, they look identical to Thule ones to me.

Cool cheers, if the keys don't work any more I'll give roof box a ring and then start on generic lock barrels I'd that doesn't work.

TBH I'm not that bothered if they lock, I would put a proper lock round them if leaving them some where, but I just want to make sure they won't come loose while driving ...

My mate just bought a Thule rack, asked for the same key number as my Atera Strada and yes, the same key fits both.

Roofbox is insanely expensive for the keys, which are made of cheese. After I best the second one I got them from eBay instead.
