    Where can I find replacement for this cap

    So I clumsily manage to knock the cap off and it fell into the engine bay crevice one night while working on the car. I couldn't find the part no matter how hard I tried.

    Anyone knows which of our favorite online retailer carries replacements or what its part number is?

    You better look harder because they no longer sell those little ones.

    I used a bit of silicone sealant (you can use RTV also), to safely secure the cap to the connector. Put a small amount on the underside of the cap and set in place.
    I did the same thing with the jack pads under the car. Still there after many years.

    I second TX's advice. Both have a tendency to pop out or go missing.
    What "thumbs up" really means

    Can't seem to get a proper online search hit using those numbers you provided, ATA197.

    Also, I would like to use original part if necessary especially those caps if still available; even used ones will be fine.
    I will certainly tack the existing ones down as TX suggested. That's a great idea.

    As last resort, I may try the aftermarket stuff. I think I will try Wuffer as he has a couple parts cars coming in soon.
