Lexan t-tops - Can I still get them from GM?

My car is all original except for the t-tops. I would like to get a set of lexan ones but I want a set that is in mint condition. Do they still make them?

Ok from these responses I guess they do still make them. I don't care about cost. Anyone know the part number?

Wow , those are really helpful answers guys.I'm not sure if the lexan t's are available from GM anymore.I believe most where replaced under warranty with the common glass type since they where prone to hazing and other nasty things.If GM was replacing them with glass t's they are probably no longer available.

I'm thinking that on my 86 T/A they are a discontinued item and when they were available they were some outrageous price like a grand each.

I'd hang out for an ebay set or check the wrecking yards.

I'm guessing the one that says NOT LISTED is the lexan tops, not much help I know, but it doesn't say it's discontinued either.

(that's for a camaro but, firebird listings are similar)

Thanks for the info guys. I know they'd be expensive but I'm not sure I could find a mint set anywhere. I guess I'll keep my eye open for the nicest set I could find and go with it.

I dont think anyone is making a set , Gm was replacing all the lexan tops with glass, so it might be fine
