Default Need new 2000 roof

I have a 2000 SS and I have the dreaded bubbles on the roof. I had a bodyshop that was completely convinced they could add some sort of fiberglass primer something or other and the bubbles would stop but they haven't of course. No one in my town wants to replace the roof. Does anyone have any recommendations for shops in the California, Nevada, or Arizona areas? I think I may need to drive to find a capable shop that understands how to complete this repair. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for an aftermarket roof panel that they know stands up well? I wish I had the bubbles when Chevy actually made the replacement roof but I missed that boat so here I am.

I found a thread with new panels being made at LS1 tech a while back but they had been discontinued last time I checked.
Mine has a few small bubbles and no doubt will get worse, they say to get replacements from a donor car 1993-early 1998.
I'd stick with '97 and back I think to be on the safe side.
No easy fix I guess, I found a shop in Seattle willing to do the repair but I haven't got replacement parts yet, still hoping to find new repops.
Post up if you find a source!

No, definitely no easy fix! Do you know if the shop in Seattle has done one before? I'm going to be looking a lot right now so if I find anything I will let you know. Please let me know if you hear anything new!

I don't think they have but they do know of the issue and what it takes to repair it.
They are a high end custom and restoration shop so probably can handle it and probably also expensive.
I'm still researching the issue myself and will post up if I find anything more.
Meanwhile here's a link I saved a while back you might want to check out.
4th Gen Camaro Roof Panel Replacement - Camaro Performers Magazine
The shop in the link that did the work is in Socal by the way.
Edit: they have the hardtops in both fiberglass and carbon fiber here... I'll be getting one!

They have the t-top replacements as well in both types of material.
