    Under the hood there are random factory holes in the truck body metal of 1/4-3/8" diameter that I would like to plug to keep salty badness from getting in the engine bay/firewall. Has anybody used rubber plugs or grommets to plug these? if so what is a good source for such things?
    thanks.

    It’s gonna rot away no matter what you do up north. You never keep it out. That like living at the beach and trying to keep sand out. Impossible.
