Roof Rack Removal... No Keys!

Wondering if anyone else ran into this issue-

I am the 2nd owner of my MINI and it came with the base roof racks already installed. I'd like to take them off for a bit and be able to put them back on later but unfortunately I didn't get any keys when I bought them (bought it from a dealer, not an individual so I can't really contact the previous owner either). Word has it each one has a separate key and there's no master at the dealership or anything.

I'm looking for the same information! I bought a 2011 MINI from a Subaru dealership and they aren't helping at all. I have a call into Hendrick MINI here in Charlotte, but no answer yet. Will let you know once I have one!

MINI Bike Rack Keys

I just bought my MINI this past Monday from a Subaru dealership. The car has a bike rack and we weren't given any keys. The dealership was difficult in their communication so I acted upon it myself to investigate about the missing keys. I found out that you can order the key directly from MINI. There is a 3 digit code that is on the rack that you give to the dealership. The only thing is that it may take up to a month to get the key. However, at the Hendrick MINI dealer here in Charlotte he had some extra keys; unfortunately not mine! But it's something to think to ask the dealer when you call. It ends up though that the Subaru dealer finally found the keys so I'm going to pick them up today. I hope this helps!
