Here you go to refresh your memory; a 2021 992 driven year round 115 miles from the arctic circle...

You can simply remove the wiper arm and cover it with a “plug”.

Contact BumperPlugs.com and see if they have a plug cover for the 992…

(Of course this does not address the motor, electronics, and cutout in the windshield).

Limited use, no washer, but better than nothing if you drive in weather other than sunny days... As for looks, it's a classic

Had an old 968 with a wiper that was deleted. There is a plug kit that was available from Porsche for the hole in the rear glass. Personally, I have a wiper by choice on my 992 and while it may not have a washer line to it, I still find it useful when driving in inclement Wx.

It will look even worse with a plug over the arm connector area. Leave it be.

It's not hidden anywhere. It's an option that very few choose to take.

You need to finish the sentence.

My 997 self-deleted the rear wiper one day; left it on the ground as soon as I used it. But a new one went on the next day, it rains where I’m from and I used it all the time. Here in SoCal, not so much.

For some reason, I think the rear wiper looks better on a smaller 911 (possibly the 997, but especially the classic 911s). May be it’s because I’m used to seeing them them on the classic 911s and not on the newer cars?
