there's a guy on here that sells the rear wiper plug painted for like $15. i've had mine a few years now and it looks as good as the day i bought it. even the paint match was spot on. try searching for the seller because i can't remember the name right now.

If you can't drive in the rain without a rear windshield wiper, then you need a handicap sticker.
There's millions of cars that don't have the rear wiper.

Well, I live in a rainy city, and even have the spoiler and rain ex, and the back window gets so bad driving that it's hard to see out. I might not like the wiper, but Id rather be able to see.

The flat back windows, and aerodynamics of the car actually cause the dirty water to fly against the back and stick genius. Other vehicles, with sloped windows and better shapes don't have this problem. Even trucks dont do it. You guys should use a little brain power before making some of these posts. When I drive in the rain, if I do not run the rear wiper every few minutes, I cannot see out of the back safely.

Comments like "lmao how do other cars with out wipers drive?" and "yeah i see no point in the wiper since the back of the xb is as flat as a wall" are prime examples.

back on subject people.... if i remember correctly, i myself used a 1" plug from Lowes. its not color matched to my xB, but i got the shiny polished looking one. less than a buck & you gotta use like an adhesive to seal it.

.....33 year old rookie driver, you could press the defrost button and solve your problems.
We're using our brain power just fine.
