Default Element Door hole fill?

Well, I just ordered some element doors with the metal enclousures and the soft uppers. I've already done a mirror relocate and don't really want to move the mirrors back to the doors. The Element doors come pre drilled for the OEM mirrors. Any suggestions what I should plug those holes with?

Failing that, I will move my OEM mirrors back to the Element doors. Trouble is, I've lost the bolts that hold the mirrors on to the door. Anyone know where I can get replacements and what size(s) I need?

Go to your local auto parts center and tell them what you're trying to do, ask if they have any rubber plugs about that diameter. You could also use black RTV silicone, and just make sure its smooth.

Well I got the painted lowers, so the black RTV won't be an option. Thanks for the advice. I think I'll take one of the lowers to my local NAPA and see if they do have a plug.

Good advice. Except.....I sold my OEM doors, and now I remember what happened to the mirror bolts....I installed the rugged ridge circle covers on the OEM doors using the mirror bolts. So now I have the OEM mirrors, but no bolts to attach them to the Element doors.
