    Lock Cylinders

    Does anyone know if the lock cylinders are the same for doors and t-tops? can I buy door lock cylinders and use them in the t-tops?

    I don't think so...I believe the T-top key is much shorter than a door key, but could be wrong.

    MattODoom will likely know for a third gen.

      That is a very interesting question.
      I have never had to replace one, but I am curious what you find out, because someday I might have to replace one myself.

        Nope, Doors and t-top use the same key. But lock cylinders are different.

          Any clue where to buy new ones without going to the dealer.

                  IDK, but if you find out, let us know! I need a whole new set of locks for my car. I have to reach over from the pass. side to unlock the driver's door. . . and the pass. lock is starting to go bad. . . and I'm missing one lock cylinder for the T-Tops. lol

                    Do you know if they charge the typical dealer 5 to 10 times more than the autoparts store cost.

                    It would really suck to have to pay $100.00 per lock.

                      No they are usally about 25-50% cheaper than the dealer on the same Genuine GM part.
