Pretty easy little DIY and it will clean up the lines on the rear hatch.
Tools needed:
10mm Ratchet
Adjustable Wrench
Parts:
Plug: P/N 90301-SR3-000
Nut and bolt: 90156-SH3-000
Rubber Seal: 76707-SR3-000
5/16 Washer (get at a lowes or wherever)
OR
Grommet, Drain Hole (26mm): P/N 82871-671-000
To remove everything you have to go in a certain order.
1. Remove the cover to the third brake light
2. Remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the third brake light in place
3 Pull out the two Rear Window Trim pieces. Start where the third brake light is and pull directly outwards. Continue all the way up to the top of both pieces.
4. Once the two Rear Window Trim pieces are out of the way, begin to remove the Tailgate Upper Trim Panel. First, remove the button that is the lock. It just screws out.
5. After that begin pulling on the edge furthest from the glass. This edge is held in with clips that pull directly out from the hatch. Once you have this edge loose, you can begin with the edge near the glass. This edge is held in with clips that hook over the edge of the metal near the glass. Pull the piece upwards towards the glass.
6. Now move to the outside of the vehicle. Here you will see the rear wiper arm assembly. Pop open the cover that is on top of the wiper arm

7. Remove the little screw that is on top of the shaft. This is what holds the wiper arm in place. Once you have removed the screw, pull the wiper arm up and off the shaft. It may take some wiggling but it is not too hard to remove.
8. Once the arm is off, you will see a large rubber piece. Remove it and you will see a larger screw. Using your adjustable wrench, remove this screw and the the large metal piece it holds in place. Then remove the last little rubber piece to have the hatch glass completely clear.

9. Now move back to the inside of the hatch. Remove the plug that goes to the Rear Wiper Motor. After that, remove the three 10mm bolts which hold the Motor Assembly in place.
10. Clean up the area around the hole if there is any leftover adhesive from the rubber.
11. At this point you have two options. Either the more secure way (the multiple parts) or the easy way (the grommet). For the 'secure' way, place the plug over the rubber seal on the outside of the hatch. On the inside place the washer followed by the nut and bolt.

12. If, instead, you opt for the 'easy' way out the begin by taking the rubber grommet and placing a bead of silicone all the way around the inner edge where it will rest upon the glass. Place the plug on the hole firmly and hold for a few seconds. It should dry fairly quickly and hold in place. After it has completely dried, spray water over the outside of the hatch around the plug and check the inside to see if any water is leaking. If so, patch up the area with more silicone from the inside.
13. Replace the interior panels in the reverse order that you put them in.
14. Stand back and check out your sexy new hatch.
