The key to your t-tops is the same round key for the door locks. Unless they are not thr factory set.

Try looking in the glove box of the salvaged car, and see if there is sticker with a key code on it. You could also get the VIN # and take it to a dealer and get a door lock key made for you t-tops.

Default t-top keys...

The code in the glove box won't do any good if they are from a different car. Just go to a locksmith and get keys made...
