Default Wiper Arm ?

Goldwing stopped by my house yesterday to pick-up the OEM radio I sold him and while looking at my crossfire he ask me what happened to the wiper arm covers that go over the nuts on the wiper blades. I told him they have never had them and the car was purchased new. Is anyone else missing these covers and does anyone know the part numbers so I can order them.

They are only about $2.00.

If you go to www.chryslerpartsdirect.com you can order them there. Drill down on"body parts" and look at the illustrations. It is call a "Cap Back" . They do not give the part number.

I think you are better off going to your local dealer for it as this site has a minimum $7.95 shipping charge.
I can't see payng that for an item that is just a couple of bucks.

Interesting. Neither of our xfires has them. I didn't even know that part exist. I also noticed that the SRT has the blade back on both blades and the Limited only has it on the drivers side. Do you have blade backs on both sides?

Frank,
after reading this post I had to go out to the garage and check.
Mine are there. Someone in Germany must have run for coffee when your car was on the line. LOL

I accused the dealer of delivering my car minus one of the wiper arm caps only to realize that, in photos I took of the car the day that I brought it home, both of the caps were there. Apparently I lost my first cap in the first week that I owned the Crossfire. I ordered one from the dealership and it was $2.50 plus tax. Now I need to figure out what sort of goop to use to hold them on.

I think this might be the part number 05101489AA. I have one missing the other one I found on the cowl.

robby363 gave the correct part number.
I used this number to purchase them a couple of years ago, when I paid about $4 for both of them.

My drivers side was missing so I ordered one from the dealer and 6 months later I was cleaning some leaves from the bottom corner of the windshield and found the cap that had fallen off.

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like they are subject to falling/blowing off. Might be from the time I took it up to 120 MPH on the highway. I'll order some from my friendly Dodge dealer tomorrow. I think I'll put a little silicone on the nut before I install them to help hold them on.
