The Slightly Unsightly Holes Have Disappeared.....



I came across these plastic plugs on Ebay. At $9.98, they do a good job of covering the holes left by the factory. Called "spiffy plugs", they can be found at:

They come as black plastic but I painted them to better match the Antracite interior.

Nice find!

 

Get them at Home depot for less than $1.00

 

You can get black vinyl, rubber, and chrome ones at most hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowes. Look for them near the cabinet *****. They are called "hole plugs" and come in a variety of sizes. I got mine at OSH and used a 5/8" and a 11/16" since there are two different sized holes. You can usually get them for around $.50 each. On an '05, that's a whopping $2.00!!

 

I believe a fellow NAMer is the one that makes and sells these on ebay.

 

Nice!!.......but "unsightly holes??"

 

I got a set from the NAM member and they fitted in the upper holes just fine but the bottom holes were a pig. Got the passenger one in after much cursing but had to ream out the drivers side one to make it a little bigger. Must be variations in the injection molding process.

 

There was a thread about this before, which was follwed by several threatening PM's from the NAM member to the people who think its a scam..

Home Depot has them for 37 cents each in 6 colors.

Lowes has them in a White thats ready to paint for 25 cents.

 

does anyone have a part number for these?

 

I have never been able to find them in Home Depot. I wandered the aisles of 3 different HD. Crying out to anybody in Orange, "Do you have hole plugs?" Nothing, nada, zip. I gave up and am at peace with the "unsightly holes"...

Until yesterday when I bought an auto-x cushion from Wheelie and he threw in 4 chrome ones, so the moral is the way to get them is to spend $40 with another NAM member on another part...

 

For mine, I used 2 different sized plugs: 5/8" and a 11/16". Those worked perfectly.

 

I got mine at Lowe's for a total of $3.00. There are drawers in the misc. hardware section, one for nylon and one chrome. Home Depot only has white nylon caps.


Yep, these are the sizes that I got also.

 

I'm going to get the JCW ones.

They do look nice though. I may just have to drive to the big city to check them out.

 

On my 03 MCS it took four 11/16 and two 5/8 plugs. Lower rear plug was a little hard to get in but I just pushed and it went in. I bought mine at Lowes and paid $4.49 for three two packs. Looks like Home Depot was the place to go but I was passing Lowes and with the price of gas and H.D. being a half of block out of my way.....

HD, OSH, ACE, Lowes - don't think it really matters as the prices should be similar. The difference definitely isn't worth a gallon of gas!

 

hit both the local hd and lowes and couldnt find them.

 

I found them at Lowe's - they're in the sliding drawers where all the loose hardware and screws/fasteners are. They come in a bag (2 per) and I think they're called nylon hole plugs or something. I used black and even on my orange interior they look better than the holes.
