Your local GM dealer probably has what is called a slim jim. It's a flat flexible metal strap with a hook shaped cutout on the end for sliding down the the inside of the door outside of the glass and catching the rod which is connected to the lock mechanism. The local dealer here does house calls so maybe yours does too.

I have had the dealer run the vin # and was able to get keys cut from that. My local guy has done it several times on our trucks and I would think that they can do it for yours also .

I recall reading something on here about being able to pop the T-top off by going in between the window and T-top weatherstrip with some kind of rigged up tool.
