When removing the rear wiper completely what have you used to plug the hole? i thought i saw carbon fiber plugs a while back but i cant seem to find them now. if anything i could try home depot/lowes. just wondering what you have found to work best and look the cleanest.

 

There has to be a solution other than home depot ugly plugs.

Without the rear wiper, the car looks so much better!

 

some auto body supply stores sell these colored plugs that are used ot plug anttena(sp) holes those should work they come in many different sizes and diameters.

 

Do what I did. Take the rubber that is in the hole already. Push most of the nipple back inside the hole. Take one of those chrome metal valve stems and insert it in the hole. Make a nut out of a plastic washer to hold it in the grommet. It looks like a rearveiw camera and is completely water tight. If you don't like the chrome, paint it first whatever color you want before you put it together.

 

pics?

 

i like my rear wiper... i dont think i could part with it just to gain looks... even though it misses a big patch every time and i find myself trying to time the washer fluid to try and hit the right spot on the wiper blade.... is this a common mod? i have never really noticed it on any modded cars.... hmm maybe i can part with it when it gets warmer... i wouldnt be able to see out the rear with out it during the winter seasons here in jersey...

 

IMO if your window is that dirty I'd just carry some papertowels and windex during the winter. I hate the fact that the wiper scratches the window and I didn't appreciate having to pay for something as useless as a rear wiper then have to figure a way of making it disappear. They should have made it a port installed option and make the people that wanted it pay for it.

 

dumb question....
rain-x on tints......specifically the back window. Should I not be doing this.
I have done it twice so far and works like a charm, but not sure if it will harm a tinted window. I know, I know, probably the dumbest question of the day.

 

Rain-X goes on the outside, tint is on the inside. Just keep
doing what your doing, just try and keep it off the paint!

I *love* Rain-X so much, I'd hit them up for a sponsor if
I'd ever do shows.

 

moved...

 

i had scion fist where my wiper was but it got jacked so im looking for something to replace it with as well

 

Lowe's has 1" Metal Hole Plugs. They are very inexpensive, comes in a chrome color. Hillman Brand is what purchased for mine.

 

Word is that a nickel fits in that hole nicely.

 

Someone in japan actually put a faucet in there.

 

If you had your windows tinted they used a film which I would not use Rain-X on if you are talking about the factory tint it is smoked glass so Rain-X whatever you want.

 

Again, Tint is done on the INSIDE, so Rain-X is cool
because it's done on the OUTSIDE.

If you got your windows tinted and they put it on the
outside, I'd be worried about that shop! LOL

 

you can use these end cap plugs in stainless or black plugs in plastic. any hardware store, around a buck.

 

LOL... I've seen it done (by novices) ....

Anyhow-- he's right.. TINT on the inside, Rain-X on the OUTSIDE. Did ya read the directions? It says right on the Rain-x bottle to use it on the OUTSIDE.

And it's TINT, not TINTS. (also along the same lines... it's a film, not 'dem tint papers'). Yeah... it's minor, insignificant and unimportant - but if you heard the 1/2 million irritating misstatements a day - it'd grate on your nerves too.

 

The rear windows have privacy glass, not tint.

 

.... and yes, there is a difference between the two. A huge difference. (before any asks....)
