I think it's moulded onto the tube at time of manufacture.
One of mine (the boot lid one) has failed similarly. I cut it off and used a standard blanking cap holed and slit open to fit round the tube then applied liberal quantities of black mastic.
It's reasonably OK, though the boot lid one does flex more, that one you show doesn't really get any movement so just sealing it with mastic would probably work OK.

thanks for the reply.
yep, you are right re. it is placed on during installation .(i did not think of that)
as you have suggested will substitute with a blanking cap+mastic.
cheers raj
