T-top locks?

My T-Top locks have long since been orphaned from their keys... I'm wanting to get a set. Are the originally keyed to the door locks?

Can they be replaced? Can they be ordered or do they have to be rekeyed?

You can pull the guts outta them, and goto a wrecker, get the new locks, and copy the key. Thats prob the easiest way..

EDIT: My hatch key opens/locks my tops

The key that is for the T-Tops also opens the doors, the hatch, and the storage compartment in the left side of the cargo area. If you have the original door key, then it should lock/unlock the T-Tops. Yes, the lock mechanism can be replaced, it is held in place by two small pop rivets and a U-shaped latch pin.

You could take you rlocks to a locksmith and have the locks rekeyed to match your door key, i had to do that with the lock for the gas door.
