Default Wiper arm caps

Morning all.
I presume the coupe has the same wiper caps as the UR?
Any other models have the same?
Do you think I can find any?!!
I need one, as one has broken off.
Any advice please?
(rocking horse comes to mind!)

One is missing on my ur!

Solution- you remove yours, send it to me. At least mine will be correct! Ish
Or I can do it, send you the spare cap?

Pilfer one in the scrappy? They are integral to the arm assembly, but otherwise nothing special.

In reality, I could spare this one, as I have new arms to go on the car. But it might be diddly.

Ahh! I was looking last night, and thought "That doesnt look easy to change!"
So if they are part of the wiper arm and can't be changed, Im better off looking for a complete wiper arm?
(I seen a set on ebay a while back price!!)
Seems overkill?, surely the boffins at AUDI should have designed it to be changed!

As for the scrappy, it really would be like a needle in a haystack!, I though maybe a VW or similar would fit from some other model?, as I would have thought the idea was to design things like this to fit many?
(Im used to restoring Fords! lol!)

I doubt that Audi had much input beyond issuing a spec to the supplier that makes them. Yes, they are pricey. I bought a new pair for the UR from Pete Reeve quite some time back, in preparation.
