They sure did. Sometimes I see they pop up on ebay. Average price of around $40. If you're handy you can make your own set.

Can't be too hard. I'd start w/cutting some cardboard to fit under the tops--leaving a little room for movement-then tracing onto some more sturdier material--then cut headliner material to match and get maybe an upholsterer to sew it onto the hard backing--or maybe you could even glue it on.

Not really sure-haven't figured that out yet. But the stock ones are made from heavy duty cardboard.
