Windshield wiper delete caps??

Anyone know where I can find caps to go on my bolts after I take the wipers off?

I deleted mine too since I NEVER drive her in the rain and also took out the washer bottle, I use black vinyl or rubber vacuum caps, just look around for the bigger size, fyi.

I used black rubber vacuum caps that I had laying around for mine as well, although only to cover and protect the threads

That's funny!! I'm looking more along the lines of the whole thing. But I think that will definitely work in the meantime! Thanks!

Why not yank the entire wiper mechanism? You could probably find a small grommet/plug kit that has no hole in the center and raised lips so it stays put in the opening.

I try not to drive my car in the rain, but there have been times I have gotten caught in a freak downpour and have had to throw a wiper on real quick. so I keep my drivers side wiper in the hatch just in case

I totally do not understand removing the wipers unless you have some sort of monster intake that requires the space the wiper mechanism takes up. If you're leaving the mechanism in place, then why take them off?
