Default For those interested, a great way to get rid of your rear wiper for about $1.00

After some playing around with it, I finally found a plug that seals the hole, and looks good while doing it. To do it, all you need to do is follow the usual steps to take off your rear wiper, and the motor. After doing this, you are left with a squishy lining on the outside and the inside of the glass. Purchase two 7/8" inch black plugs from Lowe's, coat the plugs in silicon or super glue, and slide one in on each side of the glass. It fits nicely over the hole, and is a snug fit. No one will be able to yank it out either with their hands, so that's a plus too. I'll take pictures as soon as I can and post 'em. I know some of you may be saying, "well that's not OEM", and while that's true, why pay 25 bucks for a stinkin plug and a washer when you can do the same pretty much for $1?

They are located where most of the bolts and screws are. They were in a drawer. I believe they were called "specialty fasteners". You'll see a drawer for plugs. Find a pack of black 7/8" plugs, and you're all set. It looks very very good

How are you supposed to get it back out when you realize you need that rear wiper really bad?

<--- used his rear wiper constantly this past weekend because it rained for 3 days non-stop.

True, and if you live someplace where it rains nonstop, I would not recommend it. However, out in So. Cal, I rarely see any crazy storms, and even when I do, I NEVER use my rear wiper. The water just kinda beads and slides down the window. It looks so clean without it. It's just one of those things - you either need it or you dont.

I've had my rear wiper removed for almost 2 years now and I don't miss it at all. I hardly ever used it when I had it on. I think most people will be fine without it.

Yes, but i'm not sure if this is the exact same size. However, it plugs it like a charm. No water leakage, and it looks great. For 1.00, you cant go wrong. I prefer OEM parts as well, but a plug??? Cmon...not every little thing has to be OEM.

come on people, do a search!!!

This is the part number that you need. Ive posted this part number 3 times already and people are still trying to figure out how to plug that hole. The plug is $2 from the dealer. Forget every other method and just order this part
