Had to get rid of the ugly, useless, vibrating hunk of junk they call a rear wiper, lol.

What kind of plug did you use? Was it difficult to remove?

pretty easy to remove....
Take off windshiled wiper arm from outside
Take off grey hatch cover from inside
I think 3 bolts to remove wiper motor

I used a metal plug from Lowes, found in the specialty drawers by the nuts and bolts. I think it was 1 1/4" size, can't remember for sure right now.
It fit perfectly, so I painted it black and sealed the inside edges with silicon to prevent leaks.

i used the piece that is used to plug sink faucet holes when they arent used.

it is deff one of the easiest and best mods to do! and cheap!

Go to Lowes or home depot and buy a sink plug. Plastic or metal and paint it. Works great.

Neat mod.. but I couldn't do it. I LOVE my rear wiper.. I use it alot, especially when highway driving in the rain. I don't leave it on, but I do occasionally just swipe to get all the water off.
