Snugtop lock replacement with a £11 garage door lock.

[@phartblossum]

Was going to try this on a snugtop tonneau style cover, that uses a key turn lock. A lot of stress on the key currently.

Looks great. But inneer safety handle will not work without a key inserted.

So the lock replacement doesn’t need to be a SnugTop lock?? I have a SnugTop Super Sport on my Tacoma and need to replace the lock, but SnugTop charges almost $100.

It does if you don’t want to drill the glass. Assuming you have the original glass hatch I strongly recommend you DON’T try and drill it. It will most likely shatter. If you have a Perspex hatch you can re drill it to fit any lock.

Good job - lucky it wasn't glass!

I tried this and the glass on the window shattered to pieces while i was drilling.

I replaced this lock on a prerspex replacement, not glass really. Drilling throgh glass is a tough job and I'm sorry that it happened.

[@kaisimovich2235]

Ah. That makes much more sense... should’ve done my research

[@kaisimovich2235]

Guess it’s time to watch your glass replacement tutorial now 😅

[@Gustomondo]

So sorry mate, I know how much of a pain is to have a window broken....
