Default spare tire removed
i recently removed my 5th wheel and now I'm stuck with a few holes in the tailgate.
Does anybody sell plugs for these holes? Any suggestions on what i can use to plug em?

Vector Offroad mini UFO's or plastic plugs from your local hardware store.

What parts store and what should I be asking for? My nubbers don't touch the spare so I pulled them out but don't want to run into rust in the future.

PN by chance??

Couldn't find anything to fit at the local hardware store or auto parts. Will try the UFO's.
Thanks for the help
