Front driveshaft dust boot cap Opel Frontera A Sport

A simple protective cap for the front driveshaft spline connection, designed for 3D printing using TPU. I printed my own version using TPU 75A.

I encountered a problem: the original plastic dust cap on the front driveshaft of my Opel Frontera A Sport no longer stayed securely in the shaft's groove over time and kept slipping off.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a part number for this cap in the available parts catalogs, so I couldn't order a replacement. The only marking on the original part was:

"GLAENZER SPICER FRANCE BREVETE FRANCE-ETRANGER"

This identifies the manufacturer (Glaenzer Spicer France) and indicates that the part was patented in France and abroad.

The part's design is quite simple, so I decided to create my own 3D model designed for printing with flexible filament.

I hope this model proves useful to other Opel Frontera owners and anyone else facing a similar issue. It's a simple part, but sometimes even a small component like this can save a lot of trouble!
