Default Window Protector

I have seen pictures of something best described as a "pillow" that goes in the crease of the rear plastic convertible window, that protects it from scratches, etc. when it is in the top well. Does anybody know where these are available? I have checked the forum accessories vendors but can't describe it, let alone find it. Thanks.

I use a big old bath towel.

Cost?

That's what I've used for years. You can even purchase towels that match your top color if the wifey's decor doesn't match your Vette.

A large soft towel does the trick. my window is 7 years old and doesn't have a mark on it.
