C4 convertible question- unusual Decklid
I have a 91 vert and am in the middle of a major refinish job on it.
I was looking through the window of a ~mid 90's yellow vert and noticed that the cargo space has the fiberglass molded panel like the C5's have. Not sure what its called, but I have never seen this on a C4 before. Does anyone have any ideas what this part is called, and if its available for the C4's still. From what I could see it looks like a different molded decklid with rounded/formed/raised areas behind each seat on top.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
BG

I guess its called a "waterfall" on the C5. It looked like it did not fit perfectly on the C4,, but it was very close.
I was at a used muscle car dealership and could only see it through the window. I will go back tomorrow and see if they will open it up so I can get a pic.

A few years ago, there was a vendor (not sure if it was the vendor noted above) who was selling one and said that they were'nt making them anymore and his display model was the last one they were going to make. Shoulda bought it as I liked the design.

Our Coupe to Convertible kit is what you are looking for. This kit allows you to convert your Corvette from “coupe mode” to “convertible mode” in less than 10 minutes. Install time approximately one weekend. Please note that this hatch is not waterproof. Part comes with a black gelkote finish that is ready to be sanded, primed and painted.
Looks like it velcros over the stock C4 deck lid.
