Vette(s): 2001 Coupe, 1988 35th Anniversary Coupe currently used to own 1987 Coupe and 1998 Coupe

   I bought a used C5 3 years ago, and it came with a pop-in headliner for those days when the heat and sunlight were too intense.  I have never used it, but I have also noticed that they don't seem to be advertised (eBay for instance) for C4s.  I sure cannot see why not.  And it seems like it should be easy enough to fabricate one especially if there was a stiff enough closed cell foam inner core.

Years ago I bought a static cling film from MidAmerica for "The Beast".  It was a polka-dot pattern that helped a bit.  Didn't blow away either when the windows were open.  This is similar to what I had.

Wonder if this might work as an alternative.Norsky said:

It’s been a while since your post. I believe that THOMPSON ASTRO TOPS (800) 239-2659 ask for Jana, rebuilds tops. My ZR-1 came from the factory with one but someone else had to have it. So I purchased a new bronze lightweight for mine it fits great. Their customer service is great, although because of the demand it takes a while to get one.
