If you are on about a cover for just the top center collar nut, then yes these are available but these where not used on the Caddy build originally.
You can also get top mount strut covers as well. Don't think they are expensive.

Sorted now, cost about £1.50 each and are from a golf...dropped one behind the wiper motor so ended up taking the metal bulkhead black panel off to get to it :(

Hi Caddy bridge, what was the part number of these caps for the front top mounts that you purchased?
Was they part number 6Q0412359 by any chance?

I’ve got a Golf part number for them, I haven’t bought any though so can’t confirm it and ETKA on line is down at the moment, at least for me

5Q0412047A
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is

How many bolts hold this bulkhead cover on Caddy bridge? I too have lost one of my caps behind the wiper motor. I can find the top two of the bolts but not the ones lower down. Are they behind the dampening insulation somewhere?
Should of got a small handed child to do the drivers side strut cap. Passenger side is easy.

Right...look down to the back of the engine down at the bulkhead insulated part and you will see a heat proof aluminium shiny section either side of that you will see the 10mom headed bolts which are countersunk remove those,you also will need to removed the plastic trims which the bonnet seal sits on next to each hinge,and obviously the two top ones either side which are visible.hope this helps :)
