You can find various rubber plugs at body shop supply stores.

Should match the rear hatch wiper opening well since it's all black in that area. However if you just stick one in the antenna hole, it's going to look kind of bad. In that area you really need to weld in a patch and then blend it in.

Yeah there are TONS of hatch glass without the wiper.. I say this because of the 8 FCs I have owned, only like 2 of them had it. Just go to the junkyard or hit up the classifieds.

^ If you are worried about the difficulty of the procedure, rest assured, it is not difficult at all.

As hilarious as it might sound, I bought a 1" vinyl drain plug for mine. Seal it with some epoxy and you're golden.
