Don`t think you`ll get a new roof panel now, and the correct basket-weave pattern isn`t available anywhere. Best option is to remove the wooden panel from the roof (time consuming but do-able) and re-cover it with either stick-on vinyl or leather-cloth or fuzzy roof lining material, my mate did his a couple of months back, looks OK

Or polystyrene ceiling tiles for that added H&S factor.

The panel slides out backwards. You need to remove the row of bolts at the rear edge that holds the top roof storage rack onto the cab roof for a start. Then the side storage shelves in the rear, either side, have to come out so the panel has room to slide back. Not a quick job I`m afraid
