Default 73 Convertible Deck Lid Question

I am interested in purchasing a 73 convertible, but runnning along the side of the lid, I noticed the fiberglass is separating on the side and when the deck lid is shut, it bows at the highest point a half an inch on the driver's side.
I have searched to see if I could purchase a deck lid but they do not seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know where I can find one, or is it fixable?

Thanks!

Can you post a pic, mine started breaking away at the passenger latch. Didn't trust a patch to hold so picked a used one up at Carlisle. I see that Zip has them.
I would imagine other cat. Sources would carry them as well.

don't see your location, but there are corvette junk yards across the states, google and find near you, or check on here for parts.
