Default Blackout panel for Transparent Roof

Hi all,
looking for this item linked below. It's been on order for 2 months now. Can't seem to locate one in stock, if anyone runs across one can you let me know or if there is something better.
I have a 2012 GS

Thanks Mike

These are getting harder and harder to find. I found this one, link below, on eBay. I have a similar one except mine is the 2 piece version which you can't find any more either.

Bridgewater's not too far from me. I hope to make it to NC some day if I live long enough to see retirement.

Call Mid American Motorworks in Effingham, IL. That's where I got mine. Although, I don't see them listed on their website. It never hurts to call...maybe they have some new/old stock.

I found mine used on here last year. They are getting rare for sure. Southern car Parts used to have them, but on backorder when I was looking for one.

I bought the cling film...works great and you can still see through it. I'm in the south where the sun is intense but the film really works great.

I ordered one from these guys on the 16th and I have not an email stating they are on back order. I heard through another supplier the original manufacturer went it of business and another took over but is way behind schedule. Just hoping to get mine while it is still hot out.

I went through the same thing looking for this part......was told by pretty much everyone that the design is there for someone to take over, but no one makes it any more. I got lucky and found some old thread on the forum here and VetteCandy came up. Long story short, I contacted them and they had a couple in stock, so purchased it and had it in my Vette within 4 or 5 days. That was back in May. Also....it works quite well, at least so far. I got it mainly to reduce the heat and it does that well.

Try Sergio Flores at vettecandy@outlook.com.

Here's a pic of it in my transparent roof:
