Default JK Tailgate Plugs

Anyone have any idea where to get plugs to fit the JK tailgate holes? Cut a hole in one for CB coax routing, removed third brake light which routes through the other. I can find plenty of grommets with holes in them, but I need plugs to keep the water out since my current ones were cut for cables.

Thanks

You could fill them up with black RTV, smooth it off, and no one would be the wiser.

Thanks Mark. On the plug I ran the cb coax through, I put rtv in there to seal it and it looked like a 2 yr old did it on a bad day! I guess Im less than graceful. Ill keep searching for a rubber plug but its behind the tire carrier so no one sees it! Hardware store guy told me I wont find them to fit

This is what I used for all of mine. This kit has come in quite handy a few times. Even used the smaller ones to fill the holes in my delete plate. https://www.amazon.com/Cal-Hawk-AZGA...nd+grommet+kit
