Yea i love rear wiper, and will definately need it when it snows... my guess is your southwest so you wont really use it. Weld plate (if can fit under there, never checked accessibility), or what I'd do -stick a bolt in it and nu under it, or try corking it with a piece of rubber so it looks like an antenna. So if you ever want it back down the road wont be a hastle to get it back in.
