Personally I never use the rear window wiper. Shaving it off, like you said would give it a smoother look. I say go for it!

Where can you get the plug for the whole? I hear from some people that you can find a rubber plug at home depot or something for it, then paint it.....?

Do you have the part number, or do you just ask for it.

It's over in the drawers with all the nuts and bolts. Don't go to the kitchen/bath section, I made that mistake. You'll have to do a little seaching, I think it a 3/4 inch sink hole plug.

Take it off! That's what I'm planning to do. I was thinking of shaving it but I think I'll play safe & do the plug method just in case I need to put my wipers back on for whatever reason. I'll just have the plug painted the same color as the car so it's less noticeable.
