My BIG RIVIAN ACCESSORY DELIVERY happened today (all season mats, 2x sets of crossbars, field kit I don't remember ordering), and to my surprise the crossbars have two different styles of key. One set has a single metal key that looks like the one on the website and the other set has two plastic handled keys. I wonder which revision is newer? :) Note: I ordered the second set from the gear shop directly, so only one set is associated with my preorder. Perhaps the additional $50 gets you another key and some kickass plastic?

I got two of the plastic ones with my bars. They have different codes and only one works.

They use the Yakima SKS keys and cores, so it should be a relatively easy to make all the bars common.

When you guys ordered the extra set of cross bars, did you manage to retain the preorder pricing or new price?

Contact your guide about ordering them. Mine said I could get the original pricing.

As stated they use Yakima cores, so the metal key is just used to remove cores. That way you can order same cores from Yakima and just use the one set of keys for all your Yakima locks

Damn! I wish I knew this before I ordered keys for my Yakima accessories.

Does anyone want to buy a 4 set of A152s?

I also got different codes on my keys. The two plastic keys do not work. Only the metal. This isn’t intentional correct?

What number is your metal and what number is your plastic? Which works on your rack?

The racks for mine showed up in the mail with the two of the "kickass plastic" keys taped to the outside of the box … the other plastic-less key is like other Yakima accessories.
The packaging of the racks was "someone got some packing materials and cut up cardboard and wrapped it all as best they could" … early days … : )

I was hoping they were just run of the mill SKS cores. I have a bunch of their cores already for the crossbars on my 4Runner, cargo box, etc.

So update: as I was breaking down boxes I found that they had put the keys for one set of bars in the little documentation pouch that I usually throw away without looking. So the abnormality in my order is that one set had the plastic keys inside the box and the other set had plastic keys on the outside of the box but had a single metal key inside.
