    I used a 22mm grommit for mine.only paid 30p for it to from a local car parts place. Only takes about 10 minutes (ish) to do and looks good to.

    I bought a pack of about 5 or 6 from halfrauds, one of them will do the trick, make sure its water tight

    If the grommit is slightly bigger like 23mm or 24mm it will seal the hole. But the 22mm I used has done the trick and hasn't leaked at all.
    I only did mine because I've never used my rear wiper (on any of my cars) and it got in the way of my saxperience sticker on the rear window. I've had no regrets yet
