As the title says, I'm looking for a plug/grommet to delete/block off my rear windshield wiper and the antenna on the roof. As you may notice, I need this to a touring. Does anyone know where to get any of this?

Do you know the measurements? Thanks for the reply :)
Also, could you please post a link to one. I am very bad at searching for stuff like this :)

I think it's either 20 or 22 mm for the aerial, and possibly the same for the wiper, but I recommend you check for yourself.

I ask again, a friend of mine has a plug on his wiper, but it was there when he bought so he don't know where to get it. Anyways, I measured it and the panel holde is 25.4mm, the panel thickness is 1,6mm and the overall diameter is 32mm. Does any of you know I can get one of those without paying insane amounts of shipping?
