I unscrewed the nut on the top, the wiper arm simply won't come off.
And if I do get it off, and take the motor out from underneath, what do I do with the hole?

Please don't laugh at me. I don't drive in the rain and rear wiper will never be used anyways, I like the clean look.
Any one done this?

Cool, just be sure to remove the motor too (might as well save a few lbs as well as better aerodynamics).

One concern - does the rear window have a defroster, or is it only the wiper blade?? (I dont have my 04 yet, so i couldnt answer my own question here)

Just came back from my long lunch (Shopping at Home Depot ) I accidently stumple into something........ I don't know how to post multiple pictures, so sorry about the many posts that I'm about to do

here a picture of the cover, I find it in the faucet section......

ZISBAK

here is a pics of what it looks like after assemble, it's kind of fuzzy, my cam does not do well at macro close up...........

ZISBAK

here is a better side view of it.... Now I just got it send it to get it painted! Do you think I could take it to a model shop and bring the touch up paint for them to just air brush it on?...........
(there is a film over the cover, that is why it look a little light blue)

Yes, the Rear window has a defroster for the 03 or the 04.

I just unscrews once you have the bolt off. Lift up on the wiper arm, spin counter clockwise. The remove the motor for the underside. There will be a rubber grommet left.

I have some hole covers that I was going to use, but they are not a great fit, so I was looking for a better solution, I think the faucet (sp?) cover is better....

I did a write up on this if you want to search for more info....

Hey!!! these are great ideas, thank you so much.
Thanks a lot on the removal tip, too.

I tried to paint it tonight, and I was never good at paint, so I think I screw it up a little. But another idea came in mind, since I'm planning to get carbon fiber front lip, and the side by the window. Maybe I should just use some carbon fiber stick and cover over the faucet cover! I will search couple shops tomorrow to see if they have any CF stick, so I could remove the wiper tomorrow night to test the fitment on it. Will keep you guy an update on it..............

Yes the 04s have the defroster and rear wiper........Cool idea, what a waste having a rear wiper. Everything blows off the back anyway, well I don't have snow down here so maybe that's what it's for.

No problem, whatever i could do to help my friends, I think everyone would do the same! The only thing sucks on that cover is very hard to paint and it's some what a little hollow inside, so if you have something poking at it. you could create tiny dents, So now I'm on hunt for CF sticker to cover that up.... Will update if I find something! :-)

Well, I finally decide to install the plug to remove the wiper.
First I primer the cap and spray paint a coat of blue (somewhat match the my DB color), then I used the touch up paint and brush it on, then sand it, then brush it on, then sand it, then brush it on, and repeat over and over and over again (I figure I'm just making the prototype, if it's a perfect fit, I will get about 2-3 of it and get it professionally paint it) Finally, I spray a least about 4-5 coats of clear paint to get it shine. It actually turn out pretty good, except i should of cover it with something so the dust doesn't settle on it. here is a picture of it, i hope you guys get a kick out of the Kitchen clip!! got it use whatever i can! right!!

So, I start removing the wiper, after you take the nut off, it was a little tough to get the wiper off, but you just have to turn hard counter clock wise(I think?) and it will come off! Afterward, I saw the rubber mount on there, I thought to myself, I could use that, so I cut the top tube off, and left the rest on. here is a picture...

After that I remove the motor mount by unscrewing 3 bolts, very easy! But you might want to unplug the wire first before you unscrew the bolts. Make it easier that way.

ZISBAK

I insert the cap in and fill it with sealant, then use a rubber washer and a metal washer to fill the bottom, and I used the screw that came with and screw it up. It make it really easy to turn with that shape of the screw (I'm not sure what you call on that screw thingy )

here is a pic with the screw in....

for the final step I wrap the plug with insulate padding that I found at Home depot for $3 It's kind of pink, but what the heck, no body is going to see that!

ZISBAK

I guess here what you been waiting for to see what it look like from the outside.....

Sorry I don't know how to post multiple pics at one post
