Black plastic cap on base of wiper arm - where to find a new one?

The driver-side wiper arm is missing the black plastic cap that covers the nut holding the arm in place.

Anyone know if a replacement is easy to come by? I don't really want to replace the entire arm just for that.. If that was my choice, I'd rather just dump some plasti-dip on there and be done with it

.

Thanks,
Chris

Edit: Alrighty, found one on chryslerpartsdirect.com for a few bucks - Nevermind

There is a part number for it-I just don't know it. Dealer has/can get them $5.

I had the same problem. However when I looked down in the cowling it was just laying there. I have seen this same piece missing on two other SRT's that I was looking to buy.

Easiest thing is what I did: Simply remove the other one and get a small amount of gloss black and paint the screws. After doing it I never noticed the caps missing again, and it looks factory.

Thanks for all the help guys - I ended up ordering it from the dealer for less than five bucks. Definitely a better alternative to the 12 dollars I would have ended up spending at chryslerpartsdirect.com.

I may end up doing this if I lose another cap
