Default 1981 T-top 'bikini top'

Random question Does anybody know where I can get a 'bikini top' for the 1981 t-top model? When I got my late uncles corvette he had one of these covers, but after sitting so long it's extremely brittle. No logos or tags are visible on the cover. I'm calling it a bikini top, similar to the partial tops you see on a soft top wrangler. Attached is the only photo I have at the moment of the cover.

I believe "rain kote" or similar is what they were called.
