Wiper Arm Cover

Does any one knows where I can find a front Wiper Arm cover for a 2006 Cooper S Convertible...Looking for the old design. The new design won't fit, just got one last week and learnt that Mini decided to change the design for the wiper arms, thus the cover of the new design won't fit on the old arm. Please let me know if you know of or heard of one that might have it or a place that still have one in stock. Thank you so much.

Dealer part would be your best bet.

The older design is nla and no MINI dealer has it, you either have to convert to the newer arm with cover or just leave it off. You might be able to find the older arms / covers in a junk yard.

Junkyards are around for a reason.....
Maybe buy the entire arm on eBay if you don't want to convert to the newer style....
The link provided shows you how. Imo DO both at the same time if you decide too...
