Default Rear Wiper hole

Folks
I need some help. I removed my rear windsheild wiper on my xb. I can not find a plug to cover it. I went to 3 home depots and could not find a plug. Anybody know where I could find one. Or your experience in plugging the hole.

go to Ace Hardware, find the oldest guy in the store, drag him out to the parking lot and show him what you want to do. He may even do it for you.

Home Depot sucks and so does Lowe's

I just bought a key tumbler for a trunk and put it in there. Makes it tlook like you need a key to open the hatch.

I put a camera in mine. I was surprised what a good fit it was.

I used the little rubber piece from the wiper and tucked it in and replaced it with a nickle,

but before I did that I did this.

that's why I try to send people to Ace when I can. We've got to keep them open. Sometimes HD and Lowe's are a lot cheaper, but when you need to fix an old faucet or something Ace is the Place (with the helpful hardware man).

When I first saw this post I said to myself WTF. I wasn't sure what I was going to see covering the "rear wiper hole". I was glad to see it was different than I thought.
