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.
