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

ibeDAMD 05-27-2009 09:10 PM

yup i did this too, i think with the help of rhino74s lol its been a while, this was the first thing i did

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

rhino74s 05-28-2009 05:50 PM

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.

Thanks, sounds very do-able and the look is awesome.

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!

Shaggy 05-28-2009 10:39 PM

Nice job. Looks clean and easy to do.

That hole would be the perfect place to mount a big fake toy wind-up key... lol!

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!

having problem finding plug, what did you use?

JJGeneral1 03-28-2010 01:10 PM

on my 09 xD, the wiper vibrated a TON when going back and forth, on my 2010, it doesn't at all. nice and smooth.
