If I decide to remove my wipers does any one know if there is a cap that some one makes to put over the nut or has any good ideas to make it look clean? Thanks for any suggestions.

AeroSol - Mike is correct,,,the bypass caps work fine and are pretty cheap. Lucky for you,,,,,,I've been in a good mood lately, so I've temporarily suspended my normal $10 user fee for the use of that idea

I stole the rubber pieces off the legs of a folding chair to use as caps.

Thinks Phil for the post above. I have been making a kit for over a year now. There is a carrying case that hold both wiper arms, each in there own sheath. There's a special made t-handle socket with a magnet in it to hold and turn the nut on and off while holding it so you can't loose it and it fits inside it's own sheath too. There's a pouch for holding the nuts and their covers while the wipers are off the car. The covers are a soft black vinyal that cover the post and the squirter. The bottom of the covers bell out so they slip inside the large holes in the windshield plenum. There's even a short instruction list in the inside flap of the cover for the case just in case you forget how it all works. The case easily stores behind the drivers seat or in the trunk. It really protects the wipers and holds everything ready in one place all the time. The price is 100.oo inc. shipping in the US. If you want one of these just send the check to:

Prowlers are looking a lot smoother without wipers. The view is better too. I use rain-x freequently, no problem if I catch rain on the Highway . If needed, I can put the wipers on in 5 minutes. But, usually, I do not drive in the rain... so no wipers are cool.

Joe - no problem,,,,,,we are here to try to help each other. We learn as we go! Get rid of the wiper arms,,,,,while at it,,,,remove those nasty sun visors as well. That is why they make 'sun glasses'
