The lock on our Thule roofbox has jammed with key in it

I did a lot of research on forums about this and wanted to consolidate the results:1. Don't use WD40, it attracts dust and grime later, use Silicon Spray or graphite dust2. The main reason I'm posting, once it's free to open, lubricate behind the sliding locking bars with Silicon Spray, this helps A LOT.3. Also consider what I did which helps 99% of the rest of the way: buy a couple feet of PVC, large enough to cover the sliding locking bars, cut it in half the long way, attach it to the box over the locking bars (I drilled holes and used zip ties).The only remaining issue I have now is if I pile stuff too high and it puts upward pressure on the box lid, so don't do that. ;-)As to the PVC, I think it was 1", and in fact it was not really big enough to completely cover the locking bars, so I didn't tighten the zip-ties down all the way, if I did it again I'd get bigger pipe or heat it and flatten it out a bit, but I just tested this setup on a 1200 mile trip and it worked great, noticeably smoother opening and closing.

Hi, I was unable to remove thule apex bike rack off my car. the knob moves but it didn't actually untighten the knob.

I have no experience with the rack, but it's possible that the knob is slipping where it connects to the bolt that actually secures the rack. You may have to cut off the knob to remove the rack. I would contact Thule or a local dealer for advice, though. They should be willing to help with a $400 rack.

What are the best gutter guards?

Easy Flow Gutter Guards are the only gutter guard in the world that can be attached to an existing 5k or 6k gutter system (This is the continuous aluminum gutter system most used in America today) without compromising the integrity of the roof. Easy Flow Gutter Guards attach under the flashing on the fascia boards, protecting the fascia from all contact with rain or other forms of moisture.
