I purchased a Parchment top from Kee and it was spot on with the sample from the 69 Dealer manual- color and pattern
I did have an issue with the first top I purchased due to delamination which they were very responsive and sent me a new top right away

Not sure why they gave you the answer they did, request a sample and see for yourself

Thanks for that response Fred. I will call again. Did it have the correct seam widths also because what they were telling & what I saw on a friends car were too narrow on the skirt?. I must've looked at every Camaro at MCACN to make sure what I was seeing was correct.

Here is a picture of a known correct original top ..Thank you, Joe

Called Kee this morning. Samples on the way. I have a dealer book to compare with.
After examining the picture I posted & other pictures I have, it looks like the outside of the seam on the skirt is or probably was supposed to be even with the inside edge of the back window stainless...Joe
