the perfect rear windshield wiper plug

i decided to do the rear wiper removal bec i dont use the damn thing to begin with, so i took it off and saw what it looked like, it looked amazing, so i saw some of the plugs and things people did to plug it up and no one had a rear good solution, so i decided to look around for the perfect plug

my first place was lowes and it took me awhile but i found one, its a nylon 7/8 hole plug that fits absolutely perfect in the hole. heres the pictures to prove it

heres the packaging and what they look like, i think it ended out to being 1.20 at the register. i sanded down the one on the left for a smoother surface to paint on. and i also sanded the dia just a hair so it perfectly fits around the hole

heres it in the hole and it looks perfect as it is until you paint it.

to paint it all i did was sand it down really well and did my best with some touch up paint, it looks perfect to me, alittle dark in some areas but you cant tell very much at all, i hope everyone gets what i got out this one and grabs one of these for an easy perfect mod.

Looks a lot better than some of the plug attempts that I've seen. Good job.

I used a plug off a 92-95 EG hatch. I used the rear hatch shock plug. Couple bucks also.
