Default Are these original style T-tops for 1980 Camaro?

My son traded for this 1980 camaro and is trying to find replacement t-tops for the driver side. The previous owner 'made' one out of Plexiglas and it doesn't fit properly. We have been trying desperately to find somewhere that sells replacements, but keep hitting a dead end. Which makes me pose the question are these even original? The glass meets COMPLETELY in the middle. I have not even been able to find pictures online that even look similar except on a early 70's corvette stingray. Help!!!!

Without T-tops:



Are you thinking of a Sunroof?

This is a factory "T" top.Then there are aftermarket set such as Hurst.

Thank you!! And no it is definitely not a sunroof. I am new to this whole forum thing, and am still trying to figure out how to upload the pic of his tops from my phone. Both glass literally meet in a straight line in the middle and there is a straight line beam frame with seals that the glass lays on.

So you are suggesting a bare glass with no frame about it?
Not GM, reads more like aftermarket.

Those are usually Hurst aftermarket "T" tops for the most part.

Good suggestion, Z, forgot about Hurst T-tops.
Mom, if you would like, mail me the picture and I'll post for you.
Generally, phone pics are huge. Download to PC and use Paint to reduce size to 800X600 in keeping with forum requirements.
