Yes, sorry the green one is for the plug not the socket on the car. All the 13 pin sockets I have seen come with a hinged cover, I have never seen a cover exclusively for a 13 pin socket on sale. Perhaps you could buy a cheap 13 pin socket like this
one, remove the cover and fix to your socket.

Brought mine from Towsure £1.00 I think, used it on 7 and 13 pin sockets never fell off.

Only time I have ever lost one is when someone nicked it.

As snugly as it did on a previous 7 pin socket.
