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.
and heres the finished product!
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.

Thanks for the post! + REP
Well i wanted a temp. solution to deleting my rear wiper from the Fit, simply because i do not use it and it collects nothing but dirt on it.So i searched around and found this post
Enjoy:
First, Removed wiper and motor from the hatch
Hole in hatch
Went to Honda and bought a bottle of Touch-up paint BBP is now KNOWN AS DEEP VIOLET PEARL
Made a trip to the hardware store and picked up a few 7/8 nylon hole plugs and laid a few coats of touch-up on them
Finished product :

i had to buy a bigger rubber plug for the inside underneath the smaller one 7/8 plug. i will post up a pic. i had to dremel around the rubber plug so it would fit snug
