I have the same situation with my breaker box. Fortunately, it's under the house. I also have been wanting to change out the service to a 200 amp (increasing from the 100 amp service we have). Because your house is 28 years old (not the 100+ of ours - I'm sure the electricity is newer than that) you probably have adequate service.
If you can't get the right part, you can alway fall back on buying a new box just for the part you need; but lets hope you don't have to do that; it's anywere between $100 to $300 dollars depending on what you have and where you get it. Lowe's or Home Depot are the first ones I would check.

There is no inner cover (around the breakers - bare lugs and wires)
on the service entry box on this 28yo house. I don't have the $500
somebody suggested an electrician would charge to change out the
whole box, and I haven't seen that size cover in the Habitat stores.
What to do? Seems very, very dangerous.
