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
-
get him to plaster over the holes. ;D
-
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.
-
Can't you silicone a 2p over the holes !!!! 🚗👍
-
Chewing Gum. ;D
-
grommets, thats the word i was looking 4, ill look on ebay
-
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
-
cant seem to find the right item, which would fill and cover the holes
-
blanking grommets, id need exact size of hole.
-
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.

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.

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

That's the way. Everything must check out.
If the cargo area is rough with bent and bashed wheel arches, the rest of the van is the same no matter how well the outside has been dressed/tarted up.
Just keep looking, there are some good ones around - you just have to be patient.
