I've managed to misplace the keys to the factory roof rack bars and will need to find some replacements.

There are a lot of places that will cut a key from the code on your lock, but I am unsure about which key blank is needed.


I had purchased a replacement key online with the correct code, but the blank isn't even close to fitting. Luckily only £4 wasted...


Can anyone point me in the right direction?


I'm presuming that getting the (correct) key online will be much cheaper than going to Ford.

New key has been sourced.

Most of these roof rack and roof box keys are 'N' series, but this wasn't the case for the Ford rack. It was almost a mirror of the N key blank shape.


The N046 and some other common x046 types didn't work, but the locksmith hit the computer and paper catalogues and - with a couple of trips back and forth to the car to test blanks - he finally got it after about 15 minutes.


'FH' series key, so I needed a FH046.


Pretty bloody good! R & R Security, South Ealing Road.
