Do you have a " most " automobile?

Removing roof rail mount can cause roof damage. And i think you just be careful while removing rail mount. You just need the screw driver and obviously little bit of effort. And in case you make your roof damaged then you should quickly apply Liquid Roofing
Liquid Roof AND RV Roof Coatings

Lock Smith can do a Tap and File (Insert a Blank and rotate it and File to get the lands and grooves to get it done (Time Consuming) and Cost Extra Money

It attaches to the factory roof rails if you have them. If your vehicle doesn't have those, then you need the gutter mount feet for your Thule rack.

With the box open, loosen and remove the screws at the mounting points. There should be at least 4 mounting points, each has 2 screws I believe. You may want to have an extra person to help lift the box off your vehicle without accidentally scratching your vehicle.

Hi Phil,

I would check with Rack Ultra Group who have several locations in Quebec including Montreal.

Good luck.

Find a dealer in your area, it should have a number on it for them to get you a replacement. OR, most locksmiths should be able to do the job while you wait.

We figured this one out today, after pounding, twisting, sliding, gerunding, etc.

It will not slide backward (as a safety mechanism, of course) unless your latches (the ones that connect / clamp onto the car) are completely loose. That means, that looking at the rack from the end, you'll see this oblong deal that you'll use to tighten the rack to a car. As you turn it clockwise the rack will tighten, right?

Ok. Just make sure that that guy is as loose as he gets, and your piece will slide back just fine.
