Roof bar keys for my Jimny

I have just recently bought a Gen 3 Jimny with Menabo roof bars already attached to it. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a key to take them off. I have searched the internet and eBay and can't find anyone that will cut a new key for me code W039. There are a couple of companies who requested a picture of the key, which obviously I can't do. Any ideas people?

My thule bars and old german knaus camper had the same locks.
I bought either at camper or thule shops with no issues just to tell the number.

Probably easy to see my intent when buying the key in person in the shop.

You will often find that there are are relatively small number of different keys and providing you get a similar key which will go in even if it isn't the correct one, it will sometimes 'jiggle' the lock undone.

Euro Car Parts sell a locking key kit for roof bars, it's only £13.99, even if you have to drill the old locks out and replace the lock barrel it's still quite cheap.

You might be luck that the new key fits as I was with the spare wheel cover on my new Jimny, it didn't have a key and I bought a new Cam Lock from Toolstation only to find the new key was a perfect fit.
