Engine compartment battery connector

Several month ago the lighter plug on my air compressor wouldn't work so I went into the engine compartment to access the battery lug there.

It has a plastic cover over it which I broke during removal. It is pretty well covered even w/o the cover so I kept it in mind as a winter project. I just spent maybe an hour on a GM site trying to find it w/ no luck. ANy of you have any ideas on how to order/buy this cover?

It doesn't look quite right to me but for $11 I will give it a try. Thx.

I know you just want to find a plastic cover, but. . . . just FYI, this is how I plug my charger in the engine compartment. Been doing it for years

Why not use the unswitched plug in the back? That’s its intended purpose…

Not all cars have that option. Mine doesn't.
