Default 68 auxiliary hardtop headliner

I'm looking for some info on a 68 auxiliary hardtop headliner. My restorer told me I need a new headliner for the auxiliary hardtop for my 68 Corvette convertible and I've been digging around online. I've seen a number of the 68-75 auxiliary hardtop headliners for sale on various vendor pages running from around $779 to $869.

Can anyone tell me who actually manufactures the 68-75 auxiliary hardtop headliners, and how the quality, fit/finish is?

Thanks much.

Ted

Any info or feedback on these tops? Are they all the same manufacturer? If different manufacturers, does one stand out quality-wise?

Thanks.

These come up for sale on eBay and Facebook Marketplace every once in a while for much less than $800.
I would guess that Corvette America is the maker of these.

I would bet they are similar to the replacement door cards that Corvette America (Top Flight) produces. The OEM door cards and hard top liners were vinyl applied to the egg crate paper then foam was injected. If your car has OEM door cards, I would look for a used hard top liner, otherwit probably doesn’t make any difference.

The door panels/cards and most of the interior is all Al Knoch, not much original remaining.

Didn’t even think much of matching the grain, thanks much.
