i hope it doesnt rain soon

 

ouch!!

 

Happens all the time.

 

theres a junkyard by my house with a couple of sets of t-tops there. if u want ill check out a price and maybe we can set somthin up and ill ups them to u. the ones i looked at were in pretty good cond. just need to be cleaned up. my aol sn is bmxboy572 email me or pm me

 

I've smashed a t-top too.. sucked bad. I did it not even a week after I bought my car. At the time, my hatch shocks didn't work, and I was trying to manuvere the t-tops in teh back while trying to keep the hatch up.. needless to say, doing that many things at once didn't work..

I bought a new set of hatch shocks the next day.

 

I always make it a point to lock my t tops before I drive off just to be on the safe side. Look on ebay, you could prolly find a nice set on there.

 

no luck their

e-mailing the sponsor sites now...

 

I have a set here but they dont meet your requirements tho The clear is checked on it and I dont have the key for them. If you are interested let me know I'll let them go for a cheap price.

Also I'm not that far north of ya either if you wanted to come pick them up.

Lexon, is that the plastic ones, or the glass ones.

 

man that sucks.

 

the plastic ones... the ones that are lighter and kinda crack easy!

i wonder if i could find a place to match the lock to the existing key.. i really just want to buy one, but will buy a set...

 

Jim, you retard! I have one that will get you by for now until you get a good one. It's lexan from my old car. Passengers side, no key. You can swing by my place and pick itup if youwant.

 

thanks man, but i got a temp glass one from awhile back. its useable...

 

whats this about a key?? ive never herd of that before

 

Man that sucks. My friend did the same thing in his vette one time. He didn't have locked right and when he got the highway off it came.

 

well on t-tops you have the handle that goes out or in and in pushes the pins out on each side into the holes and therfore seals the t-tops to the body/weatherstripping..

however i forgot to latch the pins and pull the handle toward me

the key for the door can be used to unlock and lock the handle and thus making sure they in locked into place..

 

Your lock cylinder from the one that flew out will work. THey only take like 5 minutes to pop out. Really easy, just switch the locks. Don't pay some idiot to rekey it.

 

sorry to hear dude, im a repeat offender myself... twice!!! aaack! it took me about a week to find a suitable pair of lexan tops(the second time).. good luck!!

 

cool i need to look into the lock clinder then...

 

and actually, if you can't get the lock cylinder from the old one, it's not too hard to match one up on those. you don't really need 10,000 combinations, few people pick locks to take t-tops... you can just rearrange/trim the discs to make them work for your key, usually 3 out of 5 working is good enough, just cut the others so that they're always "open" and the actual key is irrelevant.

 

It is really simple, just take the bolts off of your inside trim piece, then pop the little snap ring off of the lock. It will come right out. If your not sure how to you could just swing buy, seein as how I am only like 10 minutes away from you. We could do it in like 5 minutes.

 

well the same thing happed to me a few years back, only it was my driver side that flew off. i ended up getting a new set off ebay for 50 bucks, i used to have anextra lexan pass side t-top but i got rid of it when i got rid of the t-top car. i like not worrying about it now i got the hard top.

 

How do you do that?

 

lol i had quite a scare last week.....i was driving my girlfirends Best-friend home from a party on an expressway and she was passenger, she taps the t-top and goes oh is this like a sunroof and grabs the handle....i scream NOOOOOO!!!!!!! and about scared the **** out of her, she screams, and jumps back and smacks her head off of the T-top. luckily they were locked but i laughed all the way to her house as she bitched at me for screaming.

 

so i can go to a dealer and get them to fix the t-top lock to my key..

but i still need to find a nice lexan t-top for the passengers side with the big pins.

 

Unless your other lock is just totaly destroyed, which I highly doubt. There is only one little snap ring you have to pop off. I am tellin you, why go to the dealer and get it re keyed, when you can pop that lock out in minutes. I did both of mine when I got the replacements in less than 30 minutes, and that included cleanin them up. But if you really want to go pay a dealer to do it that's your choice. They will probably want an arm and a leg just to do that simple thing though.

 

That sucks, guess that's worse than when Tony and I were racing and my hood louver flew off at 100 mph, lol.

 

I can't say that happened to me, since I have a hardtop.


I thought all factory T-tops were glass.

 

geezz.. I bet you feel like **** about now for doing that lol.. funny story though. I never though of that happening to me but I'll be more carefull and whatch my friends. I'll tell my gf about them so she doesnt try to open them when we are driving lol. Did ya have fun lauging at her for getting mad? lol.. sounds funny 2 me.. hehe...



DUDE! I cant belive no one has told you yet! You can take the lock cylinder out and bring it to a lock smith. They will open it and read the code inside and make you a key. its really not that hard. The price.. I dont know. Check the phone book under locksmith or something and call them up. I bet its cheaper then getting new locks though. Makes me wonder about my apartments.. the lock to the storage closet outside uses the same key as my front door. I was fiddleing around with the door *** and the whole cylinder fell out. O.O WTF? lol.. well.. I was just thinking how easy it could be for someone to pop out that cylinder.. take it to a locksmith and get a key made.. then come back and come though my front door and rob me blind. hmm.. there are probabaly 1000 ppl in these apartments that dont know that. I want to tell the office but I owe them money so I wont go talk to them lol. laterz...... call them.. come back and post the price btw

 

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SWITCH THE CYLINDER FROM THE DESTROYED T-TOP!!!

 

ok just need to find a new lexan t-tops and then i will try and switch the lock cylinder

it looks to be good, and i was carful when i took it off.

 

been there done that.... twice!!! i had mine fly off and hit the car behidn me lol

 

ouch, yeah i am glad no one was behind me!!

here is what is left of the t-top other than the plastic trim pieces..
