This is super simple. You take the two phillips head screws out of the ends of the plastic. Pop the trim panel off. This exposes the lock and the rod assembly. I believe the lock has to be in the unlock position with the rods retracted (like the t top is when its pull out) and use a flat head to push the one clip holding the lock in place. Its a U shape clip so you will push it and make it slide off. The lock will come right out in your hand. Then install it into whatever t top you want it in.

Is the key to the glove box and t-tops the same as the door key? I never got a door key when i got my car (original owner lost it, just used keyfob) but didn't want to take my door apart for the locksmith to use the lock on the door to create a key. If it's the same key, i'll just pop the glove box open for a day while he creates the key for me.

That's what I was thinking, and how every two-key GM car I've ever owned has been. Just wanted to double check before wasting money and time. Probably should finally quit putting off getting that key made after a year and a half of having the car
