has anyone any idea where i would get some rubber plugs or whatever you need to cover the holes in a van roof if  safety lights are removed.       there is a van 4 sale,     as i was about to go i looked up inside rear and noticed a couple of holes on the roof,   them lights have been removed and he has just covered with silicone.

 
decent van but a silly issue,      he is not taking his sign writing off ,    sold as seen he says.   plasterer.
id take it straight off    not advertise his work.

rubber plugs to cover holes or anything i could use

the last van I had I got a mate to cut a piece of alloy out,then he fiited it over the hole

[wfp master]

get him to plaster over the holes.

Just chuck a couple of grommets in the holes, any factors or dealers should sell them, just measure the hole, and tell em the size.

[dannymack]

Can't you silicone a 2p over the holes !!!! 🚗👍

Chewing Gum.

grommets,      thats the word i was looking 4,  ill look on ebay

[richard groves]

polymorph !
this stuff is great, can make so many things from it, and reuseable (you just pop it back in to boiling water and it melts down again to be re shaped )

great answers,    why didnt i think of them.    it will have been better if ping down,  all water in back

[johnny bravo]

cant seem to find the right item,    which would fill and cover the holes

[johnny bravo]

blanking grommets,      id need exact size of hole.

[Don Kee]

Know anyone that could just weld something to cover it?

Gaffa tape on the outside, then P40 (fiberglass) paste on the inside. Jobs a good un.

Can't you silicone a 2p over the holes !!!!

this is the way forward or silicone a nut bolt and a washer  this way when its tight its not going to move or leak

Hi Johnny. Did you get the van holes sorted? I've just seen some 'Tap Hole Stoppers' in Tool Station less than a quid each and in white. I'm sure that Wickes, B&Q or other builders merchants or plumbers should have something suitable for you.

The reason why he didn't remove the signage was that he could take some of the paint off with it. When you do it after buying it, it then becomes your problem and cost to rectify.

I would never consider a van that hasn't had the signage removed as a respray could cost more than the van is worth.

[johnny bravo]

buying a van , you can be blinded by the good bits,   you try not to think of finding bad points,

i am now too thorough,     maybe too picky.       theres plenty out there,     one waiting 4 myself.  hopefully one i can keep for years with little worry
