C5 missing round wiper arm plug/cap: solution
Probably like a lot here, I had a missing wiper arm cap. (where arm bolts to car) I tried a Hillman (from Lowe's) part H# 881289
7/8" nylon hole plugs black pack of 2 $1.39
They are too large, but if you cut out one of the segments (have 3 vent holes on each side of part that is inserted) and cut one slot on opposite side, but don't remove segmet, you will get a tight fit and it looks OEM.

Got one on ebay for about $10 shipped. Reproduction, works great.

Good info. You can also check with one of the used parts vendors on the forum and see what they have.
