Getting t-tops re-keyed
I need a new driver side t-top and there are several on ebay. The only problem is that none of them come with a key.
Where can you go to have them keyed, and is it hard/expensive to do?

Your original lock cylinder will work if you have it, they just clip in. Don't want a different key just for that t-top. If you don't have it any locksmith can re-key it to your door key.

^ Hah same here. My key only works on the driverside can't lock my passenger Oh well I ride with them off 99.9% of the time. My thoughts are why have them if you dont use them right Also wakes me up every morning on the way to school.

When I first got my car the passenger side lock cylinder got turned 180 degrees past where it should have stopped, lol.
I ordered part # 12506783 for a '98 Camaro passenger side lock cylinder (it matters what side it is) for I think $20 then took it to my local dealer and they "formatted" it for my key for another $10 (I think it was cheaper cause I just gave them the cylinder; they didn't have to take it apart).
You can install them yourself, it's just got a bunch of weird clip things.
