Question:

I have a Mercedes-branded roof rack on my car that Im looking for a replacement key for. The key hole is stamped with 011, no letters. Would the N011 key be a proper replacement, or is there a different one? I believe Thule was the original manufacturer of this rack.

Expert Reply:

I would love to help but unfortunately there really isn't any way to tell if the Replacement Key for Thule and Sportrack Racks and Carriers part # THKEYN011 will work on your Mercedes-Benz roof rack unless there is a clear Thule marking. They were at one point in time made by Thule so there is a very good chance that it will work for you. I recommend giving the key a try and if it does not work you can always return it. The only other option would be to contact Mercedes-Benz or drill out the lock cores and replace with part # TH450400.
