Have you tried http://www.contemporarycorvette.com/ in Bristol, PA just outside Philadelphia? They're a Corvette salvage yard specializing in late models. I purchased an auxilary hardtop for my gone-but-not-forgotten '96 CE convertible back in '96. Good people.

If feasible, if the forecast is calling for heavy snow, take your car to a mall/hotel/bank parking garage somehwere near you to avoid issues.
