2 body trim issues: rear wiper cap & silver strip at bottom of win

[Gerlewis]

Firstly, I keep losing wiper caps, and at £30 a time, Im wondering if there is any way to get these small piece of plastic any cheaper from anywhere?!

Secondly, I ordered some silver trim as I had a piece missing, from a porsche specialist, but the part that has arrived is the wrong shape and size. I rang him to tell him, but he insists there was only ever one style.

See pics below, anyone able to shed any light on the matter?

The black plastic surround is a different shape to my car also.

Could it be a V.W. part?

[Gerlewis]

Possibly.

I will ring them today, as they havent responded to my email!

I had the same issue regarding wiper caps. The car wash was knocking them off.

I fixed the issue by placing a small dab of silicone on the cap and then installing. It acts as an all-temp adhesive and I've not lost one in two years.

Here's an example

I will give that a go.

I have sourced another cap so will try it one of these days!

Sadly, someone has started keying my drivers door, thats the latest issue! scumbags.

That plastic piece that is on your car right now comes off with a slight pull. It is just held into place by the 3 nubs in the back as you can see from the trim piece that you are holding in your hands. Super easy to take off and replace.
