V8V wiper arm mount
I just noticed that the wiper arms on my 2014 car are secured on the spindles by cad plated nuts. There are no plastic caps to cover the nuts.
Should there be?
Thanks

My Aston dealer shows no caps for this assembly.

None on my '07 V8V, but they're also protected from the elements so caps aren't necessary. Mine are perfectly clean, despite the age of the car.
