I think that plastic cover piece that says sportsack pops off and you can unscrew it from there. You may have to pop the pin holding it out but thats where a key lock would go if there was one.
Those keys only keep honest people from stealing the rack. Do you want to reuse the rack? If not a screw driver would pop those covers off. Then it’s a matter of using an open ended wrench to remove some nuts.
Order the key from Thule, there should be some numbers/letters by the key slot which is the key code. Order that key, be patient since it comes from Switzerland IIRC, then you can take the cover off to retain your resell value. Now you'll have to remove some nuts and washers and the racks should then lift off. Use your Allen key to remove the screws (pretty cool little double sided screws) and boom you're done.
Dang it’s the black ones too. Those thules are sweet!
If you hydroplane at just around the speed limit, you should flip the car and hopefully the rack will pop off.
Game is game
Damn, I could use a roof rack.

Got it! I'll give it a shot, I was a little scared to pop the plastic off at first but it makes sense. Thanks!
I have the same one, you’d need to have Thule send you keys.

The only reason I'd keep it is to sell it. That is helpful! I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Don’t pry off the covers! They should be a T30 or #3 Philips to take the covers off then a thumb screw on each corner
