The driver's side t-top has been missing the lock since I bought the car. I haven't tried to put the lock in until today. All I have is the lock itself. When I put it in, it falls out. The only thing I've removed are the two screws at the ends. I don't see how to completely remove the plastic piece.

I had this problem about 3 months ago. There is a small like ring clamp around your lock itself and that is what holds the lock in place in the actual t top plastic. I cant remember exactly how you do it but you need to definetly find that little clasp

It might still be on the actual lock. Its a little black metal ring. I cant remember exactly but im sure someone will chime in here to help

I called the dealer, but he doesn't see it sold separately.

My car is missing the drivers side t-top plastic part and the bit the key goes in. The tumbler, or what ever it is called is still there. Where can I get these parts? Dealer I presume?

I need #6, correct?

But, what is #5?

Dipstick99

Yup, get both, they are cheap and your covered in case you need it.

Oooops, some parts have to be purchased in bulk. That sucks that you can't just buy one each of these things. I think I just need the lock cylinder.

Don't mean to **** your thread, but what would I go about doing if my driver side t-top's lock is different than my pass. side? Do I need a new lock, and take it to a locksmith with my current key to get it keyed? Or.....?

Dipstick99

Good question. I would like to know as well. Anyone?

I can't buy the part I need?

Dipstick99

Sure you can, you just have to buy 5 of them ($17.75 including shipping).
