    I had the paint shop shave mine while they were prepping to paint the rest of my car. Didn't really cost me anything.

    If it is the same one that I got from Rick when I was in Tampa it looks like this:

    Might not be the best pictures but I took them quickly in the garage. No leaks and does the job. Thanks again Rick, you da' man!

    Not to knock on any vendors, but pulling a wiper plug from a junk/parks car is a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than paying $10 + shipping for a fancier doo-hicky that does the same thing.

    Thanks for all the responses and pictures Guys. I posted on PDRs Facebook page and he responded so I went ahead and ordered one of his last night. As for the junkyard comment, the closest junkyard with miatas near me is about an hour away so factor in gas and it's really not cheaper. Plus I don't have to get dressed and roam through grass and sand to find a plug if I order one online

    It really just comes down to personal preference as while they might all do the same thing, they definitely don't all look the same. I'll post up a few pictures of the PDR one once I get it.

    Alas, everyone is just in too much of a hurry.
    I will post my plugs when I get the samples in.
    Sorry ya boy but mine will probably cost less too.

    re wiper plugs ... they work but you have to go out and find one. For less than the cost of gas you could buy a plug and they have an IP seal rating.
    Like everything else I sell once you have one in your hands you'll know why one want to get one.
    I'll post up a new link when I get them in.

    Cali is great but I definitely miss my Tampa peeps! Meeting a lot of really cool people though. I STILL have to post pics from my first meet out here which was almost 2 months ago, I know I'm slacking. Hope all is well.

    Sorry to Threadjack

    I happened to find mine on a junk car behind the auto shop I used to frequent. I wouldn't waste my time digging around junk yards for one lol

    I used a PDR plug to fill this:



    I had to use some goo because it was leaking

    Hmmm... can't find an "after" picture.

    Perfect, glad this thread popped up. Going to grab a windshield nut cap, maybe two since my wiper arm is missing one.
