    Buy a cover and make the hole youself, it probably will take like 5 minutes, you won't find one with the hole already.

    welcome!
    if you are leaving for 6 weeks, you do not want to plug it in. drive it until the engine comes on, and leave it in that low state of charge.

    I was assuming that it was for taking on the trip, but you're right, @bisco about not leaving it plugged in if you're leaving it at home. Good catch.

    I've never heard of one either. I would imagine that they would sell so few of them that it wouldn't be worth the cost of setting up to make them and stock them. But it shouldn't be hard to make your own hole and, if you don't have a sewing machine, find someone else who can hem it.
