    Where do you find the code to buy replacement keys for an ARE topper? Normally the face of the lock has numbers but I couldn't see them.

    I didn't see a serial number anywhere either...

    Any help is appreciated!

    I can't remember details, sorry, but this might be a tiny bit of help. I only got one key with my used shell, and I wanted a spare. I just went to a local ARE dealer and was able to get one fairly easily. Think I paid $10.

    I can't remember how - I do have a serial number on my shell, and I did have a key to go from - but, and this is what I hope might be helpful: I didn't get the feeling it was a very complicated system they have. They might be able to just look at your shell and figure out what key you need. I had the impression there weren't actually that many options. (i.e., they might go in the back, grab the ~5 keys, and try them out until one works)

    Hopefully somebody else has better info for you.
