autohomes poptop catch

Post by 8673sharp »

I, like a total div have lost the keys to my van!, Not a problem I think to myself Il just use the spare. And so we hit the road down to a lovely campsite in Porthcawl. Omce at our arrival the wife says "put the roof up and Ill make a brew"... No spare keys for the roof catches! :oops:
The keys have definitely gone missing, I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a way of making keys that fit the catches or if I would need to get the catches cut off and new ones put on. Also they are rivetted on to the roof so does anyone know of somewhere that would do that.
Once youve all finished laughing then any help would be great :rofl

What sort of pop top is it? The guy I bought my Autohomes Kamper from had lost the keys.
The catches could be released without it though by just pushing the roof down. But when I
went to pick the van up Autovan in Dorset had send him a replacement pair...the guy said that
it was the same key for all of those. :shock:

I have got a spare one, it might fit yours?

:D

Thanks so much for the offer, but the catches work off two seperate keys so guessing it may work for one or none! I am down Dorset way on a course for a month shortly so think I will see if Autovan can help out.
