Default Roof rack

Hi -- I have the stock locking roof crossbars for my '02 allroad, but I have managed to lose the unusual, long allen key/wrench device with the red handle that came with the crossbars. The cross bars say "A6 Avant" but I cannot find any other identifying info. I'd be grateful if anyone could help me figure out how to find a replacement.

Many thanks.

Many thanks for checking. So the trick for me will be to find a 5mm allen key on the end of a very long, skinny handle . . .

You can probably get a nice long t-handled allen wrench @ home depot.

Or if you have a Harbor Freight store in the area you can buy a whole set for what that one key will cost. ;-)

Also try Sears.....

If you find your tool, store it in your spare tire well. I attached one of the keys to it so it's always in the car - even in off season.
