Default Question for those of that removed your rear wiper.

I have searched this forum for the answer and can not find it. So here goes, what exactly is the plug found at Home Depot or Lowes used for? I go there and try to find the plastic plug, I search all over and the only thing I can find is a metal one used to plug knock out holes in electrical boxes. The guys at Home Depot and Lowes ask me what is the part number or use for the plug and I tell them I have no idea.


Thanks for the help with this.

I used a 1" metal plug... got it at pepboys. Fits fine, you just need a small bead of silicone along the edge to set it.

^^I used the same 1" metal plug. I think it was located in either the plumbing department or in the hardware section with all the bolts and such. Or you can check pep-boys.

Check this thread out. Scroll towards the bottom and there are a few pictures of what were talking about.

i used a plestic plug from lows, it was a few month ago so i can tell you right were it is but i can sell you it was in a pull out drawr type bin like you find the small stuff at radio shack.
the comon use for the metal one is to plug the hole in a kitchen sink that isn't using the sprayer option.

I didn't use a plug. I used a camera instead.

The Scamera looks good to me! It almost looks like the real one that I have.

HeathenBrewing's "Scamera"...


I love my camera! It helps out big time because I can't see out the back because of this.

I don't know where to find the Scamera. I got my Camera from Monkey Video and I'm pretty happy with how well it works.

Scamera came from my friends busted garage door...it is just a peephole with a 10mm LED mounted inside that is controlled by the wiper motor on/off swith. I can flash tailgaters with it.

Used a rubber gasket to keep it water tight.
