Default Convertible top

I believe there was an improvement made to the convertible top with more layers added or improved material. Anyone know what model year that was?

According to the Corvette Black Book:

2001: "Convertible top noise was reduced with better weather stripping and a new, double-thickness twill material. Noise in all models was reduced by addition of an expandable foam baffle inside the lower lock pilar."
