Find me an OEM convertible top (blue cloth) for a 99 30th Anniv Trans Am. I have wasted 3 hours trying… and I don’t admit defeat often. I havent even found a part # much less some New Old Stock yet. Just need the blue cloth top, no mechanisms.

Any assistannce appreciated.

Any specific reason you want it online?

It may be a discounted part or just a hard to find part.

I’m sure local place such as SoftNCushy or the type could make it for a similar price.

And what’s the P# you got?

It has to be blue?

[www.rockauto.com](http://www.rockauto.com) has the convertible top, but all the color combos (5) none have blue.

The 30th origional top is a rare find. I want the OEM unit for obvious reasons. Mine has found a small slice… and replacement is in order, even though I dont really drive it with the top up.

Im guessing there are less than a dozen in the world… just a guess. They only maded 535 of the cars with that top… how many extras did they make??? And are they still around ten years later. Who made it for GM??? These are the questions Im trying to get answered. I bid on one on ebay 3 years ago, just to have as back-up… and It went for well over 1300 bucks back then…

Funny kids… Im serious, this is a challenge…and I like challenges. There are a small handful of these tops out there. FIND ONE. There may be a bonus…or at least a heart felt thanks. I dont want a patch. This car is 1 of 535 verts with this color and fabric top. I want the origional if at all possible. In the words of George Jetson, HEPL

I found a very similar to OEM top. Exact color too(upon some research). I don’t know if that’s something you’d be interested in or not.
