Rear windshield wiper Delete

is there some kind of plug or anything to plug the hold left behind by removing the windshield wiper.

anyone come up with a solution to it besides just putting electrical tape on it? looks uber ghetto

You can use many things, just have to look around for something to fit.

I found a body-hole plug from something-er-other for one delete I did. And the last time I did it I just took the wiper off and left the motor......

But best/quickest/cheapest bet is a body plug/undercoating plug from something. You'd be surprised how big they are (look in your spare tire well )

Other then that theres endless custom options.

This is gonna sound redneck but go to the plumbing dept at home dept and look at the flush plugs they have. might be one to fit.

i just took the wiper off, then stuck some washers over the bolt. Put the rubber peice back on top and then tightened the nut back on.

I still have to find a way to get rid of the motor, butI'll probably just look for a wiperless hatch.
