I mean where the rod end that goes to the hole in the hood will rest while
not in use. My car did not have the parking holder you mentioned.

     Is yours missing?

     Or do you mean the end of the rod?

     I tried using a black rubber vaccum cap, it works, thinner is
     better, but eventually, the sharp rod edge will cut through.
     If you use a thick one, it becomes a little unstable.

     I gave up and just practice care when placing the rod into the
     indention.
