Thanks for the picture of your lock core! From that I can tell you need either Thule replacement key part # THKEYN045 or # THKEYN043 depending on what that last digit is. I can't quite make it out but I am pretty sure it's a 5.

I'd use a can of WD40 with a straw to direct it into the lock opening first before trying to use a new key. Then work the key in and out several times to help it penetrate and free up any stuck tumblers.
