Question Plug for hatch wiper hole?

I know someone was selling a plug for the hatch wiper hole before, but can't find the thread. Does anyone know where I can find a plug for the hole where the wiper sits? I really don't feel like hunting around for this little part.

I'd rather not re-paint...a cap is much easier.

I did it but I used 4 different peices.

----Bolt----
Drain plug/grommit
---Hatch----
--Gasket--
--Washer--
----Nut---

I painted the bolt head black to match the grommit. Overall looks great and you cant just pop it out and NO LEAKS.

Go to Home depot where they keep all the crews/washers, gromets, fitings, etc. They've got plastic snap-in plugs that are virtually flush. The 1" size works with some light fitting. They're available in black and white.

I put a tiny bead of shoe-goo or fish tank sealer for water proofing, but really unless your car is submerged, there isn't likely to be much standing water in that area.
