T-Top covers?

Does any one know where I can get some of these? I had some on a MR2 I used to have, and they were great for keeping the interior cooler in the summer.

They were an option, but not many have them, or at least still have them, they dissapear like the flashlight does on the overhead console. Some people on this board made their own, do a search for it for demensions and ideas. You could always go the easy way out and tint them, I did mine and worked quite well...

made my own, seen a single set in a salvageyard, and did not realize what they were, so I left them in the t-top bag

I'm a little late in signing on to this thread....anyway........

I have the originals. After checking with GM dealer (Only one side is available, other side was discontinued, and it was pricey , I'm thinkin $80 for the one side) I had mine recovered along with the headliner in original carmine red and they came out great. The backing is cardboard and has a couple of curves to it, if I can figure out how to get you a pattern I'll do it. Maybe snailmail or something. Let me know if you're interested.........They work great in keeping the temp down in the passenger compartment.....
