Default Rear Wiper Switch Cover

Is there a cover that can be used for the rear wiper switch?

I no longer need the switch because I have no rear wiper.

I ended up using mine for a fan switch. I put a piece of matte black vinyl sticker on it so its just 'blank'

As part of my backdate-ish project, I need to relocate the following from the center console:

Would the wiper switch in the dash be a suitable place for either the Door Latch Switch or Rocker Switch?

I know those are bigger switches than the rear wiper switch, but if the switching mechanism is the same (same poles, connections, etc.), I could just run the wiring from one of those two center console switches to the dash where the rear wiper switch is, and just use that (maybe cover up the wiper logo so it looks acceptable), no?

Is that not possible?

The door latch switch and the "!" switch are likely both momentary type switches, whereas the rear wiper switch is likely a latching switch. I would think the Hazard Lights aren't momentary, so that might work.

I don't know enough to know the difference between momentary and latching.

I mainly want to know where to put these switches

You might try some 999.703.344.40 01c caps.

Nah, probably not. Or at least not ideally. If I'm you I'd grab the rennline stereo blank that has the cutouts in it. It's made for this.

Even if I'm going to retain the radio? (CDR-220 like what Singer does!)

Radios are overrated and the CDR220 is especially bad. I have one in a box that was in my car. I prefer the reno in my 89, at least it looks the vintage part!
But yes if you do a radio then blank won't work. Not sure where you relocate those switches. Maybe the rennline lower dash delete with a switch panel mounted on it below the dash...

I actually bought the radio delete plate and the lower dash delete I thought I would somehow attach the radio delete plate thing to the lower dash, with the switches in there. Then I decided that it would make the whole lower dash look stupid.

I think I could maybe put a switch to the left of the headlight switch (where some cars have the adjustment dial thing). Could I relocate the door lock thing in the driver's door somewhere? (Would that look stupid?)

Don't know where to put the warning light disable thingy though...

Somewhere on the internet, I recall seeing a switch in the e-brake plastic insert thing. That's kinda awkward too, though. Sigh.

What does Singer do with the other two (they put the hazard button next to the headlights and ignition)?
