Default Filling holes question

I want to debadge the rear and I was wondering if I take off the rear wiper if that would work as well. My friend said the whole is too big to fill?! What do you guys think. I bought something at homedepot to cover the hole but since Im having a shop fill the holes on the emblem I was thinking I might as well do the rear wiper. Thanks

There are wiper plug kits, do a search. They cost like $25 and you dont have to worry about fiberglass and paint.

i would never use just fiberglass. I would have to weld it shut but it's very expensive to do it right since warping can occur. That's the correct of doing it. Half *** job would be using fiberglasss and bondo.

Fiberglass is simply a back up for the filler....a sturdy, solid place for which the filler will sit. DO NOT use "Bondo" use what I suggest. I suggest this because I do this with zero failures.....It does not shrink, it does not crack, it is highly adhesive, it is very strong, it is easy to shape, it is waterproof, it is expensive, so "Joes" paint and Body dosnt use it

I learn from my failures and I pass along what my failures have taught me works
