Default Padding/headliner or?...under T-Top???

I'm working on my folks '78, there seems to be something missing under the T-Top, all I see from inside is fiberglass and some attachment points.

What am I looking for? Headliner, T-Top liner? Etc, and would anyone know where I could find it..vendor,etc, in Red to match the rest of the interior.

Thanks.

They are called T-Top pads. All of the major vendors will carry them in the correct color for your year car ( get the interior color code from the trim plate under the dash). Al Knoch, Ecklers, Corvette Central, Wilcox, Corvette America....... the list goes on. All have websites. Price compare between vendors.

Have fun

Lol...I never was into the "red" on the inside...my dad bought the car right...back in '84 or '85, IIRC, for 3500 it was missing a few things, but had a new GM crate engine in the box along side of it...heck, car only has 78K miles on it.

For some ungodly reason, Mom really dug the red interior. Then again, she wanted to lay fltstone around the house too.

Can you say "That 70's show"?
