Larry,

I’m not positive, but I think the early and late covers differ in the fore-aft dimension, not just in the method of retention. Thus I would confine your search to an early cover only. 

Is it safe to assume that the one that was on your car was lost during all the shuffling about between the body shop and home?  In a pinch they should be able to fabricate a replacement if they are responsible for its missingness, no?
