Rear wiper plugs?

Looking to remove the rear wiper motor and plug my glass. Any quick an easy solutions? I've seen a few companies selling $30-40 alum plugs. Seems a bit crazy to me.

i don’t like the rear wiper on the FBs…. My last one had wiper and I had a friend that had a GS and didnt had a wiper and he wanted one so I traded my rear glass with wiper for the one of his car with no wiper……win win….

I have a non-wiper rear glass I'll sell or trade for your wiper rear glass if it still has the motor and wiper assembly. I'm just north of KC.

There is also this non-wiper one in Olathe KS pretty cheap. I bought a RE-Speed engine brace from him. He turned first gen RX-7 into a Jag convertible. Somebody made a fiberglass kit to do the conversion. I tried to post the link but it doesn't show up.

Swap sounds great but this isn’t a car I can drive to KC. Have no way to transport either. Prob more trouble than its worth. But if you are ever in the area and have the means I’d be happy to swap.

Assume I’ll just have to measure the hole and order or make a plug of some sort. Was just curious if hter ewere any grommet plugs or other clever wayt to easily plug these.

Thanks again!

This eBay seller is a first gen member here on the forum and makes headlight bushings also. Looks like he has a rear hatch plug.

I think those are for the plastic inner rear wheel covers in the hatch area, not for the hatch glass.

Like TechnoToyTuning's plugs?
Not as pretty but you can replicate it easily with screws, fender washers, and rubber washers from mcmaster.com
