Any chance the cap was deformed prior to using the HW heater? I've not noticed exhaust temps from our water heater high enough to think they would melt a plastic cap.
On our Cougar the exhaust grill is warm to the touch but the exhaust air has not been "Hot".
Others may have a different experience but it would take some fairly high temps to cause melting.
