Default Need a rubber plug

on the roof of my truck the dealer had something installed like a gps antenna or something. well they removed them before they sold the truck on the used lot. the hole is 7/8" and they stuck a nylon plug in there and siliconed it shut. the plug thay used was not for the roof or keeping water out, more like keeping a finger out of a hole on a computer tower or something.

anyways the hole on the left side has the proper rubber plug in it and does not leak, but the one on the right does. ive tryed body shops, auto parts stores, stearo install shops and some radio install shops that install cop radios but none have what i need. WTF!

the right way to fix this is weld in a damn patch and paint, but im dead broke and body shop fees are expensive, suggestions?

here is 2 pics of the proper rubber plug thay used on the left side, im asumeing the hole is smaller than the one im haveing problems with.



and this is the right hole that i have a peice of duct tape over for nowe to keep the fucking rain out. i have 14k more dollars to pay on this damn thing and i have ducttape over a damn hole.

If by some chance te plugs that you're getting don't work PM me. The place I work has odds and ends out the butt. I'd be willing to look around if you needed me to.

Glad you got it! A little sealant under the top edge will probably be your best bet. At least its not some damn duct tape lol.
