Default Windshield wiper cover

Need info on windshield wiper cover. I have a 1982 Collectors Edition and looking for a cover for the wiper compartment. Is there one that will fit without having to cut or modify cover?

These are aftermarket and you should expect to have to tweak it for a good fit.

This is what I put on my 79.

No tweaking required, fit perfectly.
Painted it a semi gloss black.
Removed the wipers.
Bent the wire wiper stop rest/holder down rather than remove it and lose it.
Reinstalled the wipers.
Looks great!

I just installed one and it fits perfectly in my '80. I'm going to remove it and have it painted.
