Anyone else had one or both of the windshield accessory mount caps disappear? The wife and I went out last weekend and when we got where we were going I notice the passenger side cap had done a runner somewhere. I found they only come in black and must be painted to match, which is where the costs come in.
I found some on Amazon in black for about $25 (I like the contrast with the white, actually), but when I put them on I noticed the plastic clip that holds it in place was bent so that it didn’t lock securely. I’m guessing a manufacturing defect or something. No wonder it disappeared.
I put a small piece of one of those anti fatigue mats in there to hold the clip tab straight and I’m pretty confident that I won’t lose another cap. In fact, I’d recommend anyone who has NOT lost a cap yet to take a peek under there and maybe use something similar to avoid the problem.
Hope it helps!
