I was searching for convertible info and I read that the top well was not available anymore. I can't remember where or when that was posted, maybe on here? Mine is just shredded so I figured I would fabricate something when the time came to need it. Then while making an order from Jeg's, I saw the top well was available! I ordered a black one. It just came, made by Parts Unlimited Interiors. So if it is that hard to find, Jeg's has it. If I am totally wrong- nevermind. 1967-69 top well

Those are available from many if not all of the vendors. I don't know which brand/vendor has the best one.

I suspect you are recalling a related originality discussions about a thick insulated well original factory material version some owners here either have or remember. Vendors with that material have not been found. I called some convertible top specialty shops and none had that material.

Here's a couple discussions and at least on photo of that thick version.

Man, I learn something new every day here! So there was an noise insulation layer that no one makes. I guess something can be improvised if the noise is an issue. I remember my old '68 hardtop was very noisy if the rear seat back was not in place. It makes sense the convertible would act the same. Maybe some Dyna-mat glued to the backside of the well liner? I am no where near that stage but good to know in advance.

I was only looking for the insulated version for originality restoration reasons. The thin well material available looks and works fine, especially when the vast majority of miles with a convert now are with the top down and radio turned up anyway.

Not to get off topic, but where do you install rear speakers on a convertible? No package tray. In the trunk? The insulated well would defeat that. Arm rests? Door panels? I do have a couple of the dual front dash speaker set ups that are actually for the second gen cars. But they mount almost the same way and I intend to use one on the '68. .

Mine does not have the rear speaker. I have always thought that with the top down, the well-mounted speaker is useless.

There have been interesting discussions of the 1st gen convert speakers with photos. Here's one:

So they actually mounted a speaker in the well cloth?!? That seems beyond useless. Before I did that I might mount one right in the rear seat back itself. I remember an Impala convertible that did that. Of course the Impala had a much wider seat back, but the very middle of the Firebird seat back would work. I am no stickler for originality, so a good high wattage marine speaker would work out nicely. Thanks Jim.
