Rear Wiper Delete Complete

It took me an exhaustive and strenuous half-hour, but my rear wiper is off and I have never felt prouder of myself.  It was touch-and-go when I couldn't actually get the wiper to dislodge, and then it magically popped off in my hand.  I never used it so it was just a pain.  The kit I ordered from Urotuning was a simple piece of metal that tightens from the underside and it contains an o-ring to keep things water tight.  I am probably going to swap out the o-ring for a slimmer one to reduce the space between the rear glass and plug.  Here's how it looks:

Sounds crazy, but I've been driving Audi SUV's since '09 and can't recall ever using the rear wiper. I don't like the scuffs the dirt etches it leaves in the rear windshield.
