Wierd question I know. But seriously, when you take off your rear wiper, you got that little thing still sticking out, and was wondering what people have stuck on there to cover it up. Ive seen all sorts of stuff.

Why not just take the motor out? It's like 3 screws. Then either get a prepainted cap, or make your own...

I have the wiper and squirter removed and capped... it's way clean, and the caps fit flush.

if you really don't want to remove the motor - it is very easy to do, and you can get a 1 inch metal hole plug at lowes for $1.03, and prime/paint yourself... you can go to guitar center / sam ash and get a black / chrome / colored metal "volume" **** for a few dollars.. they pop right on and have a set screw to keep them from getting loose.. or just ask a friend who plays guitar for a spare.. most of us have a few laying around somewhere... I don't though or i'de send you one.. it's just a lot easier and cleaner to plug the whole, or better still, put in a rear view camera

been looking at monitors for up front too... too heavy to put in the visor, don't want to remove the headunit and do touch screen there, a friend has the rearview mirror with the 3 inch monitor in it, thats too small.... i thought that maybe i'll lose the rearview mirror all together, and install a 7 inch motorized flip down monitor in it's place, and use that as my rearview, since it will be live real time images, and i'll still have the 2 side mirrors to be 100% legal..

I had that same fist at one point. Until some jackass stole it off my xB while it was parked at the movie theater. So now I just have a black plug. I'd like to get a back-up camera installed eventually. I've got 5% tint on the back windows, and sometimes it's hard to see when I'm backing up at night.

i've had mine on for awhile now. i dont ever take it off when i go somewhere. i've been lucky enough that nobody's ever stolen it from me and hopefully nobody ever will.

Yeah Kirby gave me mine. You basically have to know someone in order to get one.
