Question about locking t-tops
I was wondering if it was possible to be able to use the same key i use to unlock my door to lock/unlock t-tops? I've had a t-top conversion done and the set did come with a key but i would just rather have the simplicity of being able to use the same key if possible. Thanks!

I just had it done today, one of my ttops flew off so the replacement I got used a different key... pulling the lock out is easy enough just bring it to a locksmith and it should be fairly inexpensive. I was gonna do a write up on how to remove that squeak noise when you open the latch and make it much smoother to open. My latches slide in and out with no effort, its great

Nope never lock mine. I have had one fly off because im a dumbass though. I was taking them off and got a call, completely forgot i unlatched the drivers side and went for a short drive and it fell off sliding down the road on a right turn.
Luckily it didn't break, picked it up and put it right back on. Other than that i have never really had a problem with them.
They do rattle a bit though. Is there a fix for that?

The lock only locks the latch, it does nothing to prevent them from flying off.
I have put 80,000 miles on my WS6, and never had a loose top, or one fly off. (and they're rarely locked, only if I am leaving the windows down somewhere whre I thing somebody might steal the tops)
