This is what Stock eliminator has become?

The roof panels on this generation hard-top (1994-2002) Firebirds and Camaros are plastic / fiberglass from the factory and are glued on with an adhesive - they are not steel and never were - be careful with the assumptions..... They are also not easy to replace.
That can happen to anybody, can we just hope that the guy's car is ok?
I don't know if any aftermarket companies are making a repro but I do know they are not available from the factory nor have they been for a very long time. I tried finding one a few years ago and had no luck. The only option is to get one from a donor car and to get it off you have to use fishing line or piano wire, work it under the panel, and slice through the adhesive. It can't be peeled off with a putty knife.
