If the car is tri-color, then the inside of the top and underside of the boot should be the middle body color.

The 55-56 parts books doesn't agree.

It shows bulk stock for (convertible) top material fabric (Gr. 31.4744) in white, but with backing in different colors that correspond to the interior trim set numbers specific to the 55-56 Caribbeans.

Since there are no application listings of bulk headlining material for 5588 or 5699 models elsewhere in the parts book, it seems to me that the colored backing of the top fabric refers to the "headliner".

Also, the folding top cover assembly (Gr. 31.0632) and subsequent details advise to specify the trim set number when ordering, and the zippers for the rear curtain (glass) are listed by trim set number (Gr. 31.0625).

However, there is no reference to trim set number for the dust boot (Gr. 31.0528).
