I bought my first xj off Craigslist, and the PO took out the rear wiper motor, so now i just have a hole on the back hatch. I really dont want to put the wiper on but I also dont want a random hole. Any suggestions on what to plug it with? Need it to be waterproof, also. Thanks.

A nice sticker. No money spent. You wouldn't be the first.

sticker or a medallion sticker kinda like the trail rated ones, i believe they are metal

the long hard proper way would be to weld in a plug, bondo it and blow paint on to match, sticker or medallion seems alot faster and cheaper lol

Go to a junkyard, find any 92-95 honda civic. In the firewall near the battery tray there is a grommet. Obtain it, cram it in the hole.

Or measure the hole, pillage the junkyard looking for firewall grommets that fill the same size hole.

Found this at the junk yard never got to install it. I have the motor in but no wiper arm.

Go to napa let them measure the hole and find you a plug that fits it.

This is the best way and you will have a new rubber grommet that will seal well, not an old one, they don't cost that much.
