T-top lock is stuck!

Anyone ever had this issue? Tried to take the tops off today and the passenger side top would not unlock. The key slides in but i cant get it to turn. Any advice to get it open?

Thanks!

Wiggle the handle towards the outside of the car (towards latch position). Sometimes it gets jammed against it. I have to wiggle my passenger side handle a bit.

Is your door key worn or is it a copy? If so, try another key or one of the originals that came with the car. It could be that the key is just so slightly off...
