A follow-up...

Leisurespares lists "End cap" data here

https://www.leisurespares.co.uk/brands/dometic/awnings-dometic/pw1000-p550/pw1000-p550

and there's a Dometic .pdf file here

https://www.leisurespares.co.uk/files/ww/prostor_awning_parts_-_small.pdf

If what you are seeking is Part 19 0500389 on the pdf, with a Manufacturer's part number of 44700001181, a GOOGLE-search on "44700001181" retrieves possible suppliers

(Of course - just because something advertised online is said to be in stock - does not guarantee that it actually is!!)

I have already been in contact with these suppliers and get same response Dometic do not make them any more so cannot get it there.

This Spanish advert for the end-caps 

https://zyam.es/repuestos-toldos/1465-tapa-toldo-dometic-pw1000.html

warns "¡Últimos artículos en stock!"(Last items in stock) but it may well be the case that the advertiser no longer has any.

The end-caps are parts that few retailers would keep on their shelves and - as the caps are no longer available from Dometic - it may not be possible to source a new cap in the UK or abroad. If you were very lucky, a caravan breaker might have a used awning that you could remove a cap from.

This 2020 forum thread related to finding an awning end-cap for a Thule Omnistor awning fitted to a 2004 motorhome.

A forum-member eventually 3D-printed a couple of replacement caps by exploiting a file that was available on-line, but I can't find any 3D files for the end-cap you need. 

You could try asking on forums if anybody would be prepared to 'loan' you a cap that you could have 3D-printed - but that's very much a long shot.
