Welcome to Xoutpost. I see you currently only have 11 posts so you are a new member here (or very quiet, lol). Thanks for the compliment too.

Stuff of minimal cost we here on Xoutpost willingly share. So I'll send it to you for only the shipping cost but I'd wan2 know that I was sending the right key before we went thru all that trbl. The stamping is really tiny but there should be metal stamps under each of the bolt heads hidden from the eye if the bolts are screwed all the way in when the rack is actualy mounted on the roof.

Additionally I wanted to say that to be rid of the whole nonsense of keys (and I live in a reasonably high vandalism/theft area), I simply used a needlenose pliers and then a vise grip to remove all the keyed bolts and I replaced them with corrosion resistant regular hex head bolts. Now I can use my cordless drill to zip the rack on and off the roof rails. You DEFINITELY cant do that with the key.

I dont remember the threading but I'm pretty sure they were metric values. Once you have the bolt all the way out you can take it into a Home Depot or Lowe's and they have a bolt and nut threading chart/apparatus that verifies the threading of either.

Yes I'm new here on Xoutpost, I joined about a week ago and I'm glad that I did because you guys are awesome and very helpful!! Believe me I went to home depot and other stores and nobody has screws with this kind of threads. Been working on those stupid screws for two weeks now and no result yet. I have used a pliers a few times to put the racks on and of but I noticed that it's doing damage to the head. If you wouldn't mind giving me your email address I can send you photos of the screws I have so you can have an idea of how they look, and wow you are extremely nice that you offered me the key with no charge! I honestly wouldn't mind paying you for it or if you just want the shipping cost that would be very generous of you! Either way I'm ok with it. I'll double check for numbers on the back of the head although I'm pretty sure there is none. Thanx again for being nice and helpful!!! Really appreciate it man!!

Anytime. Sent you a PM

I'm sorry man been trying to send you the pictures but I think you sent me your email wrong. Been sending it to ldiggs9** but it's not going through. I put ** cause don't want your email to be visible to others in case you don't want to. So is that how your email is??

my code was very faint on the back of the head. i will try our home depot too for proper threading...

I checked the code on the back of my screw and all it had was two letters only KR not sure if that is the code??

Yes KR would be the code. And I appreciate the discretion but yes [email protected] is my email, same as my screenname on Xoutpost. And I DID get your email.

I will check to see what the code on the key is when I get home.

I wanna say it was something like 9mm threading... Just a shot in the dark, dont hold me to that, this was a couple of years ago
