plugging the rear windshield wiper hole
 
Since my rear windshield wiper isn't working I was thinking of plugging it. Anyone recommend or have any good ideas to do this?

go to the autowreckers. pilfer firewall plugs of appropriate size. install. admire

we dont have u-pulls.
I would hit up ebay/google or local hardware store. Head for the aisle that has the drawers of misc. shit in them
In a pinch you can use a piece of tape

I used a plug from an Acura Integra I believe?

like a 94 integra or something?
I don't mind purchasing something. I don't have the time to go to a pick a part. I would also doubt the life and sealing ability of something from there

Actually I just checked my purchase history, it was for a CRX. Measure your hole, IIRC the CRX plug was a larger diameter than the Integra.

Something in this area may work with some sealer.

so you google CRX plug and this thing appears lol

where did you buy it- help the guy out

welfare 04-01-15 11:26 PM

dorman's "help!" brand probably sells brand new plugs. measure the hole and hit the autoparts store

eage8 04-02-15 01:01 PM

I just have black electrical tape over mine.... >_>

Mazda used to actually sell a plug for it (for the GTUs apparently), but it's no longer available...

i took mine apart, measured everything up, and if there is any interest we could have it made. its pretty simple

I have an re a type 2 wing that I had a shop fill in the antenna home with fiberglass. Looks super clean.

I just stumbled accross this:
NWP4LIFE: AFH- ****FIREWALL PLUGS**** thread. look inside!
http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.ph...8&start=0#wrap

you'll have to measure it, but it looks like honda has a whole bunch with part numbers with this format:
95550-"diameter in mm"000

so 25mm plug:
95550-25000

I'll measure the hole tonight sometime.

eage8 04-02-15 04:19 PM

also, just for the sake of being complete. Mazda still makes an antenna hole plug:

this should work good over the window, lol

eage8 04-02-15 08:31 PM

the hole in the glass is 1.125" (about 28.5mm)

Wow. Somehow I thought you were talking about the antenna mast and not the rear wiper.....

Nothing to see here...Moving along.

Not to get into a pissing contest but, I measured more like 1.135". It really is sort of a bastard size.

FB01-67-517 is for the hole in the body that the washer line goes through, the GTUs had the piece of glass with no hole in it.

that makes way more sense.... thanks j9fd3s. If I looked at the picture correctly I would have saw that instead of what I wanted to see :)

TonyD89: I measured it with a digital caliper *shrug* that's close enough not to matter. 1-1/8" should be fairly easy to find.

welfare 04-03-15 03:33 PM

that plugs not really designed to seal tho. not like a firewall plug

Rob XX 7 04-03-15 05:34 PM

if I went into a junk yard over here and asked the guy to find me a firewall plug he will do one of 2 things:

charge me $100 to look through all the cars for it
OR
He will tell me to go fuck myself
