Default Need plastic nut cap for the wiper arm

I was cleaning up the car this weekend when I pooped the hood and noticed that one of the plastic nut caps on the pivot end of the wiper arm was missing.

Any suggestions for where I could find a replacement?

Your replacement might be at your fingertips. Other owners have been lucky enough to find the cap laying in the plastic drain area at the base of the windshild. On the other hand, it may be lost forever due to some high speed driving.

$5? Gotta love dealer markup for something that cost 10 cents to make.

I did check the plastic drain. No luck. Must have been those twisties I was on a few weeks back.

Wiper cap part # is 5101489AA, then when you replace them use some rope caulk or a drop of silicone to hold it in place, look online they are cheaper, but may have to pay shipping which could be more, then just buying it at the dealer
