Make your own.  It's about the easiest accessory to make.  Get ripstop
waterproof nylon from your local fabric store.  Get some medium weight
bungie cord from the hardware store.
Place the fabric over your cockpit.  Tie the bungie around the coming.  Fold
back the nylon and pin back the nylon.  Remove sew, seam seal and voila a
cockpit cover.

I made 2 in about an hour and half.  Remember, a sewing machine is just a
powertool with string.
