Replaced the OEM plugs next to the wipers

[LAdrummer]

I’m not sure if any other owners have experienced this but the 18mm locking plugs next to the windshield wipers keep falling out. Not so locking after all. I replaced them with 7/8” plugs from of all places ACE Hardware (USA). The new plugs won’t pop out, won’t be lost, won’t frustrate me. I did have to bore an ever so slightly bigger hole. The new plugs can be removed.
All the best,
MM

These silicone versions have been working well also and go in without any mods. IIRC, the original recommendation from the forum was 19mm but I accidentally ordered the 18mm. The 18mm have stayed in place and were fussy enough to get in, I don’t think they’ll come out unless you get in there with a panel removal tool.
