I believe that switch is either from the early non-factory (ASC) convertibles or from the late model ASC convertibles, mainly speaking of the 92 camaros and firebirds where they had finally moved the tonneua release switch to the driverside rear interior panel trim, below the release pull on the tonneua itself.

I have a 91 z28 and that switch is in the center console. I had heard of these, but never actually saw one!

I wish I had one of those to put on my rear panel so I wouldn't have to reach in the car like an ape to pop the tonneua cover, lol!!

I went out and looked. I have a 92 Formula Conv. They look the same but the print on mine is worn a little more that those. They look newer

Good luck, there were less of the Reatta verts than just about any of the other verts...

Re: Anyone ever seen this switch?

Exactly,...Reatta verts are very rare to find.They only made the verts from 90-91 and there were only about 2400 or so produced
