Default wiper delete plug

hey guys, longtime lurker here... finally picked up a 13 C2

I've been researching rear wiper delete (I know its a controversial topic here!), and I can't find a company that is still in business that sells a windshield plug for my 991.1

can someone assist?

I did this on a 2004 350Z when it was a new car and immediately after getting home. I used a SS sink plug (the plug that would cover an unneeded hole in the counter) and painted using factory touch-up paint. Fit perfectly and lasted just fine. Sold the car last Summer with 32k miles on the clock.

When searching for my .1, I considered either a 50th or a CC and some had wipers. I searched and found lots of easy info.

This worked for my Mini Cooper and X5 and likely will work for us too.

urotuning



I like this because it’s metal and gloss black. Had it under the sun for over a year no fading

Not sure if it fits the 991, but check with Eric at bumperplugs.com He's a long time sponsor of this site and makes great products.

thanks for the suggestion, I spoke to him, they don’t have a solution for 991…. But looks like a great company, super smooth customer service as well


I ended up ordering 3 generic ones from amazon, and the one that was linked from urotuning… let’s see which will look the best.

Keep us posted on what works. I have the rear wiper on my 4GTS, would be nice to have a removal option (though I do use it in the Portland rain) for a cleaner look. I deleted it from my 993, and was really happy with the result.

This was my 350Z with the painted SS sink plug Lasted 17 years and looks just as good as the day I installed it. Heck the car look as good in 2021 as it did when new. Better even. Pics taken just before it left the driveway for good Fun car and kind of miss it.

Youre welcome. There is also the all-glass version (so it sits flush to the glass) from our friends in the UK. sadly the vendor was unresponsive so ended up with these.

Yes please update this thread when you get the chance

Its comes in a kit with black silicon. Its basically glued in.
