'79 300SD size for car cover

I've got to pick up a car cover for a '79 SD and I don't have the car here. I can either ask for help here or have my wife go out and measure the car. What would you do?
Thanks,

'79SD climate control panel

The control panel is loose in the dash. The bottom seems to be connected, but the top leans into the dash. How do I access the dash to attach it properly?
