Marek,

The split cap fits a different profile of extrusion.

There aren't many good options here.  I replace the vinyl trim cap every
2-3 years and tape it heavily.  It always disappears.

I've considered a regular old PVC plumbing cap with a short piece of PVC
pipe.  They would have to be split to slide them over the fore stay.  It
would rattle around up there but might stay on for years.  You could put
the pipe piece and cap on separately then glue them together so the cut
slot doesn't line up.

The best option is to install halyard restrainers to keep the halyards away
from the extrusion.
