Missing wiper nut covers - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

I noticed something today that I wanted to run by everyone out there and see if anyone has this issue with their Brabus (or any other for that matter). Now that I have two cars I'm able to compare just a little.

The nuts (one per wiper) that holds the windshield wiper arms to the car on my 08 Passion has black covers over them, I would assume to protect the bolt nut underneath from corroding and hide them from view. But on my new 09 Brabus, the nuts are exposed and can be seen clearly from directly above. It appears the covers are missing over the nuts. I would like to run this by those out there and see if anyone else have them missing. If not, I will see if I can get some covers on mine to protect the nut.

i looked at mine and neither wiper arm has any cover over the nuts? i tried 1 of my wheel bolt covers but i think its about a 14 mm and mine dont fit.

I looked at my nuts and they have no covers. My nuts are slightly hidden behind that black plastic part that goes from left to right side of car. It's night time so I can't get picture but the nuts that hold the arms on are recessed and I would hope your car is the same.
