Thanks, yes that's the vinyl-looking piece. Fitch produced Fitch "Sprints", a modified Corvair design back in the 60's. Mine's not Sprint but I do have the roof feature. Underneath is just the stock roof line. I'd rather save the weight and remove it, and the more I look at stock-bodied Corvairs the more I like them anyway.
Here's a quick summary of Fitch:

Sadly, there were more aftermarket parts available back then than there are now for these cars. Even Yenko had his hand in them back then, and produced the Corvair Stinger - which I believe was his first involvement with GM. Some parts are still available, and the community is strong so advice is available from guys who have been there already.
