Default shaved rear wiper
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.

Super easy and super cheap mod, I did it on mine a while ago, did the same thing with using a faucet plug... worked wonders!
