If you don't have a wiper you can remove that sprayer on the hatch window quite easily. Look from the inside wiggle off the rubber hose connection then remove the nut. Now you have a hole right.

But the good news is the plastic push type things that hold the front bumper and fender liners to the car come apart and the center section that you pry out to take the clips out of the bumper fits the hole perfectly and is FLAT.

They come in bags of a bunch for CHEAP and I think I used to smaller version of the two sizes. Pull one apart and apply a thin line of black silicone sealer around the lip and pop it into the hole. Use some masking tape to hold it in while the silicone dries and presto nice flat hole filler.

You can't even notice it and makes washing the hatch window easier as your hand doesn't keep bumping into the stupid sprayer anymore. Takes about two minutes to do if you don't count the drying time.:p

Awesome. Thanks for the great advice Claymore. I will begin tracking down the supplies this week, as I don't have any more black silicone, just red and clear. The body shop I use has tons of those clips, I'll just take a dozen donuts over there tomorrow morning and grab a few.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, the body shop also has 3M urethane windshield epoxy, which is black. I'll use some of that.

Color shouldn't matter because you put it on the back side and just enough to hold it in place and make a water tight seal. So unless you get carried away you should not be able to see it from the outside. I think a tiny bit leaked around the edge so I just wiped it off with a paper towel before it dried.

I have done this on mine and it's been there for 4 years and never came loose or leaked and the black color didn't fade.

When you do it the center of the clip is a little smaller than the hole so you have to eyeball it just a smidgen and line it up to be in the center of the hole then hold it in the center of the hole with any old tape until the silicone drys.
