At great expense I have bought 2 black flip up small caps which cover the nut which holds the headlight wiper arm in place - I can’t seem to fathom out how to attach / clip the news ones in place?

Must be a numpty here as surely it shouldn’t be too hard (please) to put the new black caps on!!

Sorry for the dumb question
 
It should be a case of pivoting it in and around the axle pin on the wiper arm. From memory it needs to start at quite an extreme angle
 
There are 2 indents and the wiper arm has corresponding pins for them. Just push very gently and even more gently if you ever remove them. The go on with the fastening nut still visible and then once on push it closed to cover the fastening nut.
 
Hi Mark, can I ask where you ordered these from and how much they cost? Thanks
 
There appears to be at least two variants. Mark has a different wiper arm to the one kindly shown by “R129 mine“.
