Car Cover for 1983 242? 200 1983

Since our Volvos live outside year-round, my wife recently got one of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C73X3XSH?smid=A2SGTVQJ8XXEBP&th=1) in color 0, Coupe, 194-202 inches for her 1980 244. It fits fairly well and seems a decent-enough product. Even though the 244 is a sedan and not a coupe, the placement of the driver door zipper is close enough to make that feature useful - and we do use it now and then.

I want to get a cover for my 1983 242 which really is a coupe, not a sedan. The cover my wife got fits end-to-end just fine. But the drive door zipper use useless as the trailing edge of the 242's door is about 7 inches behind the trailing edge of the wife's 244. I emailed the maker and they say they have nothing that will fit any better.

So I am wondering if anyone has found a decent cover that has a door zipper in the correct position for a 242?

Thanks for suggestions.
