The Thule Replacement Key # THKEYN053 is a fit for your Thule Frontier but is a bit longer than the original key. In order to make the replacement key work, insert the key in the lock and tap the key in with a rubber mallet in order to fully seat the key. This will only need to be done the first time the key is used.
