Default c5 used roof

I am searching for a used fiberglass top for my 1997 coupe which is carmine metallic red. I am looking for one in good condition and in any color. I currently have a smoked glass top and would consider trading.

You can also try using the search feature and searching the 'C5 for sale' section for a top as well.

Are the glass tops from the factory or is it an aftermarket item? How do they look and seal? Any problems?

the top is factory and is smoked glass and it seals fine. There is a small crack about 1" long that is along the side edge--it does not leak water.
