Wanted
Go to your local hardware and ask for screw head cap covers...they have all sizes,colors, and styles...If you have a "mom/pop" hardware available, you only have to buy 1 or as many as you want...they cost about 23 cents ea.. just spot a small amount of silicone adhesive in the cap and place it on the nut.....worked great for me...Carl

If you are really cheap you can 'borrow' some at any Crossfire GTG.

Thanks for the advice guys will try and get the real thing from salvage yard or stealership, our local Chrysler Dealer aint helpful at all wanted nearly £30 quid for radio code for car supplied by them, Ebay = £3 pound.

Actually that does not look too bad, a bit flash but you should install the missing isolator as they call it.


I guess you could call my look somewhat "flashy"...it tends to follow thru with my personality...people who have known me for years would agree....remember, it's only a matter of PERSONAL taste/opinion...
Dave: cancel that last question (purchasable)..Got the link from your post...Carl
Are you going to the GTG? If so, looking forwarding to talking with you...Carl

see post #3 in https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ide-wiper.html
If you look at your photo you will see that the wiper arm spindle and the hole in the cowl are not on the same center. For this reason I suspect that Karmann did not instal the isolator (05101283AA) in many of these cars.
To correct mine I recut the hole on center, the original hole in the cowl is a bit too small so there is material to be taken out anyway, what we take away is concentric to the wiper spindle. I did a 'How To' PDF and it is attached here.
I found a juice cap that was the correct size (Ø1.70) and put a hole the center the same size as the OD of the wiper spindle (Ø.47) and scribed around the cap.
