Expert Reply:
The new key you ordered part # THKEYN2862 is correct for your cargo box but it's a little longer than what you had so it needs one extra step initially to work. In order to make the replacement key work, insert the key in the lock and tap the key in with a rubber mallet in order to fully seat the key. This will only need to be done the first time the key is used.
