First off, I posted this in the integra and the integra type R forum. Mods: I hope you dont mind. But since we both have the same rear windows I figured both would be ok.


I'm not sure if anyone else has done this. I searched but I think the only real way to delete the rear wiper on our integras was to use the OEM 92-95 Hatchback Cap and bolt.

This will run you about $25.00 for just a bolt and cap if I recall correctly.

Well I ordered these parts and while I was at my shop I was helping remove some sound material from a 1G DSM (90-1994 eclipse/talon). While removing this stuff (pain in the *** on these stupid cars) I noticed a little rubber cap and thought to myself "Damn that looks like it would fit right in the hole where my windshield wiper was"

well I grabbed it out and tried to fit it and BAM what do ya know an exact fit. It fits PERFECT. I have washed my car 3 times and its been raining for about a week and not one drop has entered my car.

I haven't called the Mitsu dealership to get a part number yet but I am going to do that sometime this weekend. Basically its a FIREWALL PLUG. It goes into the firewall right in the passenger side, its about 3 inches below the dash. Ill get a part number soon.

Here are some pics, It looks damn near OEM.

Should only run about 2.50 cents.

Enjoy

I'll just take yours and you can get another one

 

acutally to make it easier the large rubber grommet on the firewall of our Integra's will work perfectly. Yes its water tight, etc... however who's to stop someone from pushing their finger though the grommet or stealing the grommet. FYI

Also the smaller grommet on our firewall will fit into the rear antenna hole. Also the rear wiper squirter hole can also be covered with this small grommet.

FYI our cars are not built like Porsches, BMW, M-Benz, etc... Honda is a very efficient production company who uses the same hole cuts, grommets, etc... for various areas on the car to save in production time and cost. I can name tons of items that are universal on our cars. Just take some time and look around on the car and you will see what I'm talking about.

Also a grommet from any 1st gen ford probe in a junkyard. even easier to find then DSMs in yards

 

Das what I got... Thanks Dave

 

I like the metal '92-95 civic hatch delete plug...just add in some 3M adhesive and you're there...no other parts needed.
