I was in Camden NJ late night and heard my alarm go off, so I came out to bash some heads, but there were no heads to bash. Two hours later I go to leave and there's this 12" wide 6" high 4" deep dent on my drivers side rear quarter panel! It looked as if someone crashed into my car with the handle bar of their bike, so I had to remove a few panels to get to it, and thank God it all poped right out, but a little scuff. And at first glance I thought it was totaled. The funny thing is that now after I removed a few panels, I couldn't stop. My whole rear section of the R is gutted including rear speakers, back seats, rear seat belts, carpet, floor matts, spare tire, jack, spare cover, and now all that's left to remove is rear wiper and covering, but I need a plug for it. Anyone have any pics of the hatch with the rear wiper and panelling removed with wiper plug installed, and an ideal where to get a rear wiper plug?
P.S. Please post some pics of the hatch with the rear wiper and panelling removed with wiper plug installed. And how much weight am I losing in this area?

What about the weight question?
What about the weight question?
I just ordered my wiper plug from SUSSMAN ACURA in Maple Shade. It hasn't come in yet though. I guess it will be a week or so. The parts guy never even heard of such a thing, but it was in the computer. And by the way, why would you leave your car parked in Camden? That makes me nervous just thinking about it.

Did you remove your power antenna?
sack-who just removed his power antenna

You won't believe this, but who needs a wiper plug kit when a non smoking cigaret lighter plug fits perfect and looks great, if you get a black one that doesn't have the cigaret slashed.
rear seats, rear seat belts, spare tire, jack and tools, spare tire cover, rear carpet, and ls spoiler weighs 109 lbs. I weighed it all right out of my car the other night.

I used a door grommet from a Ford Probe Turbo we have behind the "shop".. free is g00d.
