Removed rear wiper and motor. What do I cover the hole with?

Like the subject line says. I'm removing the rear wiper and motor from my hatch. What can I use to cover the hole in the glass. I guess a rubber cap will work but am not sure where I'd find one. What did you guys that have done this already use to cover the hole and where did you get it?

You could probally find a glass hatch without a hole pretty easily.

I went to pep boys and got some assorted rubber grommets and washers and bolts, and covered it up pretty well.

I'm actually replacing a hatch without the hole for this one. My original hatch didn't have the wiper but the glass was in pretty bad shape. This glass is in great shape but I have no use for a rear wiper. In the 6 plus years I've had my 7 I've never needed a rear wiper so I figured why go with it now.

Thanks for the reccomendations guys.

Yeah; go to LOWES! Look in the fasteners section with all of those drawers. Find the one that has caps and plugs. They have on that is the perfect size for the stock antenna and probably the wiper to. I have it on my car and not one drop of water makes it through and it has not budged in almost a year. It cost me a whopping $0.50!
