How to Change Out Lock Cores in a Yakima Q-Tower Roof Rack
Question:
how do I change out the key locks on my q towers? I plan on getting a new set of locks but i dont know how to take the old ones out. I no longer have the changing key. I only have the unlocking key for it. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You will need an additional change key, part # Y8007835. What you will need to do is unlock your q towers and then insert the change key and the core will release from the tower and allow you to slide it out.
From there you will be able to insert your new cores. For a four pack of cores that comes with a change key you would want part # Y07204.
