Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Thule, and she did have a few suggestions for you to try. She said some people have had success retrieving broken keys using a paperclip. Try wiggling the key out using the paperclip along the ridged side of the key. I have had luck in the past using dental picks to work broken keys out of a lock cylinder. If enough of the key stem is protruding from the lock, you could also try grasping the key with needle nosed pliers and removing it that way.
If you get the key out the correct replacement key for your N094 cylinder would be # THKEYN094.
If you are unable to get the key out, the last option would be to have a locksmith drill out the lock cylinder. This would need to be done very carefully to avoid damaging the lock housing.
Once out you could replace it with the # TH450200 that you referenced.
