Try http://www.smsautofabrics.com/ in Portland, OR. They're a fantastic source for original factory fabrics for things exactly like this.

I might need to give them a try,

I am in the same boat, Skyroof that is mainly "SKY" :clonk:

I am really wanting to find a "reproduction" top to replace mine.

If it is anything like a convertible top fabric you should be able to go to a shop that does convertible tops and have one custom made. It would be benificial if someone who had one with enough of it left to use as a pattern could take theirs in first. One other option is to start calling the older GM dealerships and hope that they have one sitting on a shelf collecting dust since this option was not heavily produced it could be a good thing or a bad! If a dealer actually ordered a spare to keep in stock it could very well still be on the shelf, but due to limited production very few dealers probably kept these in stock.

I may have located a source for NOS tops :hurray:
Dont know yet, but should find out soon.
I will let everyone know, when I do.
Heck maybe we can get them for a discounted price for a "Group buy" :thumbsup:
Anyone else interested ?
