I've lost four over the years, they are not attached very well, I think they are knocked loose when washing the car. I'm going to try a little RTV when I install the next one. I've been buying two at atime from the dealer, still have one left from the last purchase.

They are made of plastic and I think they are subject to UV breakdown and just disintegrate over time. Remove one and it is subject to cracking very easily.

Orlando,
I had the same problem with my 05 XJR. Go to Lowes. They have a hardware selection with some caps that will do the job nicely. They even let me walk outside with an assortment of caps to determine the exact size required.
Short of that, the good folks at Colliers Jaguar are close by and these items can't be that expensive. How many times have I said that over the years.

Caps replacement
I'll go a littler further with tarhealcracker's recommendation as this is what I found on mine.
An OEM wiper arm cap on the right and someones gooped on plastic piece on the left.
Go to Lowe's and get Hillman's black nylon hole plugs in 7/8".
Here is the comparison of the OEM cap on the right and the Hillman hole plug on the left. As you can see the Hillman hole plug is much more substantial than the OEM cap.
Fits well and looks perfect installed.
The Hillman hole plugs were $1.38 for a pack of two. Jags MSRP is $2.25 ea. My dealer wanted $6.00 ea for them!!

LOL! They do that in Texas, too? I thought that was just a North Carolina thing. I have three different Lowes stores all within easy driving distance, but I always chose the one in Wilson because the chick selling hot dogs is f-ing HOT!!! And she always wears short shorts and a little tank top that shows her belly.
