Was wondering if anyone else has trouble getting the caps for the windshield wiper pivot mounts to stay on? I've had these come off repeatedly since I bought the car a year ago. Today I noticed that one is missing from the passenger-side wiper and I don't see the plastic cap in the vent grill cover this time. Probably gone for good.

Later,

 

Add some duct tape on the inside to create better pressure to keep them on. A snugger fit.

 

Thanks, FP. I placed a small piece of black electrical tape around the cap and it fit "snugly" when I replaced it.

Now I just need to locate another cap.

 

Placed an order with OEDiscountParts.com for the wiper arm caps. Turns out the Chrysler P/N gives an 'unavailable' response. But Mike Lewis of SkylandAutomotive.com (parent company of OE Discount Parts) eMailed me and said the same part was available under the M-B P/N and it was a little bit cheaper (see below). Package of 6 caps arrived next day. Turns out he's located in Asheville, NC, just 50 miles from me!


Great vendor - recommend them to every XFire owner! (I'd attach a copy of invoice, but Forum website still has issues being able to do this.)
