Default What to plug spoiler holes with?

Duck tape isn't working!

I'm looking for a watertight, semi low-profile solution here. It can be DIY or manufactured. I don't have money for the bodyshop at this point in time. Any ideas appreciated. I have 4 ~1/4" holes and one ~1/8 inch hole.

Thanks,
Florida

i went to autobarn, and got the black plastic plugs that are kind of "serrated" on teh bottom so they click into place and just guessed on a size, and i got some rubber cement or something like epoxy and just put some on the bottoma nd ptu them in. it doestn look perfect, get some touch up paint and paint them before hand so they blend in. i havent had a leak since then and its not like having a nasty rust hole there

go to home depot in the bolts and nuts section, they have these plugs that will work perfectly for what you need to lug, they are a white plastic....keep in mind they have a similar looking screw "cover" that looks like the plug but doesnt have anything to plug in to- that is not what you want....there are these droors in that isle that have tons of little things that you can buy- just look in them according to the picture- I found mine in a different bin than they should of been in but they were like 50 cents each- just ask them to help you find them. I think they come in a bag of 2, they actually snap into the hole, and to get them out(they are in pretty good), hit them from behind and they will eventually pop out.

Thanks guys. I shoulda searched first. I came up with a ton of ideas from doing so. I'll probably do the plugs until I can afford to get it welded. Thanks again .
