La Prealpina Roof Bars Security Locks

[Jessie1917]

I have successfully fitted these roofbars...specific for my Fiat 500...however the security locks are proving a nightmare...just will not turn into locking poxition. I've been in touch with Mick 's Garage in Coventry where I purchased them online....they stated that these locks have give many customers a problem....and sent an email with further instruction namely stating correct position of lock barrel prior to locking.......which I had achieved correctly.......Even wd40'd the barrels they said that would be fine....still can't get lock to turn with key. Anyone e else
had this same problem......it seems like locks are faulty....but they state they are difficult to install

Try locking in open position, if this works then it's alignment problems, lock bolt not in line with hole, keep etc
