  • Rear Windshield Wiper Plug

    Hey All !! I just purchased a R32 Skyline 4 door and it never came with the rear wiper so on the back window I have two smalls holes there. Does anybody have a rear plug that I can plug up the two holes with? Worst comes to worst, I will just buy the rear wiper but I prefer no wiper for a cleaner look. Anybody have this item, message me back asap as I am looking to buy it asap. Thanks!

    A simple fix (which is what I did) is to find the rubber stopper plugs at home depot that are the size you need and just insert them in.

    Good to go

        Or better yet lift up your trunk carpet and there is a rubber plug that covers a bolt and it fits perfectly into the hole and you already own it!

            Remove the rear windshield wiper motor assembly to save weight and improve aerodynamics


            Now you need to plug the large hole in the rear windscreen and the small nozzle hole as well. For the nozzle hole, you can use a simple nut and bolt, then glue a plastic bolt cap on top to make it look clean.As for the larger hole, I used a combination of varying sized washers, one longer nut and a bolt. Which sandwiched a couple of round rubber gaskets between the washers, and a larger plastic cap on the bolt head to give it a clean looking finish. I also used silicone gasket maker on the glass surface to separate the metal washers from the glass, that way if the metal ever rusts, the rust won't put pressure on the windscreen and cause a crack. You'll also need to be careful when tightening the hole thing together, too little torque and you'll have a water leak in the rain, but too much torque and you'll shatter the glass.
