    I may be wrong, but it seems to me that way back when I had my 348 it turned out that the "wiper arm nut cover" on my VW Corrado was almost exactly the same and fit perfectly. It's possible that other VW's match the 348/355.

    The arm that drives the pilot side wiper blade pops out of the arm and flops all over the place on mine.

    There's a stub that fits up into the blade that looks broke. Maybe I need #7?

    Email us with your shipping address and we'll send you a quote with postal shipping. It'll probably be around $15 for postal first class mail.

    Thanks! I thought the only option was the faster service.

    Cheers.

    and add $15.00 US shipping and its still cheaper to just buy it at the local ferrari dealer....looked at the bill....there was another item on the bill.....the wiper nut cover actually only cost only $1.87 including sales tax.

    I need two such caps for both my 355 wiper arms. Everywhere I’ve checked they are no longer available. Any one know of some place with a couple left in stock?

    Nothing special. Same as on my 2007 Porsche Boxster. These will probably fit. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-wiper-arm-cover-genuine-porsche-94462830501?ads_cmpid=12182638689&ads_adid=117424816256&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=494639080014&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-296303633664&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIypPsi-HF_AIVCLfICh0HkArLEAQYAyABEgIsv_D_BwE

    Haha, yes, they are the same!
    My bad posting the wrong link. I meant to attach this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/321784630710 When these were in stock I ordered them and they were an exact match for the original I still had on my car. The VW part number I posted is the correct one and I am sure they were using them on all the VW/Audi products back then.

    Mine keeps coming off. I replaced it with another one and it too, came off. I suspect that the nut is too big.

    Wrap the circumference of the nut in a strip of tape (or the inside of the cap), then put the cap on. It'll be snug.

    Is the nut too big or the cap too big?

    I can't say for sure but the cap will go on but it wont "stay" on there. It's almost as if I should put a notch along the circumference of the nut so the the fingers of the cap can bite into it.
