Rear wiper blank

I think I used some kind of gromit from halfords (theres a thread on here somewhere). Looks stock :)

 

Yes, my son works at Halfrauds and the other day he noticed I had lost the wiper on my car and said that they have a blanking plug perfect for that. I have asked him to get me one and if it looks ok I will use that rather than knocking in the edges and filling which was my original plan. If he remembers and it fits I will take a pic.

If the hole is either 20mm or 25mm you can use electrical blind grommits (they come in those sizes) good for 1mm to 2.5mm thick material. As I remember there are two types. Rubber (dull colour) or plastic (shiny black finish).

 

You could probably spray it to colour match your car before installing if your car isn't black. All good electrical wholesalers stock them. Worth it if its just a temporary fix like you have stated.

These look like a nice alternative to just a rubber grommet

An update!

 

First of all id like to thank suprasurrey for machining up this most beautiful blank which he machined from ali. Its a two part blank which clamps around the hole and even has a water tight seal, top man :thumbs:

Took it to work and painted it to match the body and now it looks like this.
