Yes, there is a cover available. I bought mine from Sunbeam Specialties
in San Jose, Calif., USA. I don't know if it might be available close to
you but you can get it. The one I bought came with all the snaps and
buttons for the cover. There should be some existing pins on your car
for this purpose (front part of the dash pad & next to front wind wings,
also one on the cubby box). I think I paid around $100.00 now they're
$150.00 US.
The number to Sunbeam Specialties is: 408-371-1642.
