Hmmm, okay...

It's just that I have seen facuat stoppers before in the washrooms and they sit so flush to the surface that I just figured that the foam gasket goes on the other side...

I plan on doing this mod after the whole family easter thing

What do you know.....The Search button works ...LOL

The very first day I got my Z home, I spotted that ugly rear wiper and thought WTF.

I was thinking how it screwed with the clean lines.

So I finally got around to wanting to do something about it.

I thought I would ask what everyone thought of it. Then I thought, I will do a search. LOL

Great Idea. I might get mine done by the panel shop, to illiminate the need for a plug.

But Kudos and great job.

Now if we can ditch that Antenna........BMW always have the antenna as the wire in the glass.

That would cost a packet to get one made.

But I wonder would the perfect balanced look be worth it ?

Any issue with using duct tape instead of electrical tape?

Paul350Z, any closer up pics to see how flush the stopper is to the body?

Default Water Squirter

Hey Guys,

I'm going to ditch the rear wiper. But I noticed that the Water nossell remains.

I wonder what Hardwhere needs to remain to keep that working?

I am sick of tail gators. So I thought the nossell could be adjusted so that I could squirt water on the car behind if it got too close. LOL

We don't have many guns in Australia, so its much easier to get away with that lol.

You could plead ignorance and say you were trying to wash the rear window. And Then OMG, Where the hell is my rear wiper ????

Some one has stolen my rear wiper LOL and twisted the nossell. Perhaps they where trying to steel that as well but were disturbed?

Oh right, but they had enough time to put the trim back and plug the hole, God bless them.

I just got these plugs in the mail a couple days ago. I'm going to try and put them in this weekend if the rain ever stops. I've been conditioning myself for having no rear wiper. I've gone without using it for the last two months. I figured that I'd get an extra one just in case...

They might not have a lot of guns in Australia... but aren't you concern that they will use their car as a weapon?

Very nice write-up. Old thread coming back which is OK!!
BTW there's a guy named Spiralfunk over at Motoring selling painted plugs for this particular set-up. He's getting Great Reviews...just my two cents worth!
