Help identifying and finding a convertible top part

I am in need of the convertible top front underside of the bow part that holds the top to the top of the windshield. It connects/bolts to the underside of the front bow. Please look at the picture and let me know if you know what this part is actually called and where I might be able to find one. Thank you for your help!!

Re: Help identifying and finding a convertible top part

Thank you mantaguy. That helped in identifying the part and part number. With your help I was able to find both the Pontiac and Chevrolet part numbers. Part Numbers: 12396209 and 20498014. I looked online and found a few places that said they had them but when I called, they have all been discontinued. Now I need to find someone that has one laying around that they want to sell. Still in need....

Re: Help identifying and finding a convertible top part

Thank you everyone for your help in identifying and locating one of these weird hard-to-find parts. I think I've got one located at American Camaro and Firebird up in OKC. She says that have it. Yay!!
