Key for OEM roof rack is missing!
 
Just bought a used 06 H2 with a brushed aluminum OEM roof rack. There are 4 keyholes on the roof rack ends. What are these for? I did not get a key from the original owner. Should there be one or more (ie. are they all keyd alike?). Where do I get a key for this OEM option?

You know those key holes? They aren't key holes at all. Just decoys. They are used to catch potential thieves that think they are key holes and goto dealerships or internet forums asking how to get a key, so they can steal from their target. Their information is logged and if any thefts are reported, they can check the database. It's a pretty neat setup, actually.

Are the cores missing too? or are you just missing the key? If the cores are there, you will see a number. THere are only a few different numbers. I may have one for ya if you have the number.

Hope you got a free tube of Vaseline with that! :giggling:
Retail for the keys is $15. I just got one from Hummer yesterday for $9.
But if you were like me, I needed it then and was willing to pay whatever they wanted......;)

Are you guys talking about the key locks in the end of the tubes? If so, you guys got ripped paying 15/20 bucks for them.

Hell, my dealer gave them to me for free.

Ya'll need a better dealer.

I have some extras that a good fella sent me from this forum. I wish I had seen this before you purchased, I'd sent it to you for free. Oh well...

So how many different "keys" are there out there for all of the Hummers on the road? Is it key E001-E009 for everyone?

If so, the security of my bicycle on my new Hummer roof-mounted bike rack comes into question.:crying:

For those of you that need keys, you need to post the number you need. I've got a few extra (I've given away 4 already) but don't know what numbers you need.

List 'em...
