Default Trunk Pan Floor Plug Replacement

I had a JL Stealthbox in my car which required the removal of the plugs in the trunk pan. I recently took the Stealthbox out and I want to get the holes fixed. It does not seem like Honda sells replacement plugs. Has anyone run into this issue and know of a fix?

I am not sure if that is going to work because the caps are rubber and are glued onto the metal. I doubt anyone will be able to remove them without damaging the cap.

Get two pieces of suitable plastic, rubber, PVC-whatever, along with an adhesive that bonds specifically to the stuff. Make a sandwich and have the two pieces touch to bond together through the hole.

Are you referring to part #1 (91611-SM4-003) in this image?

Any suggestions as to what adhesive to use?

I discovered some rust in my trunk last year and ended up sealing all the holes while performing the repair. I might have brand new plugs in storage somewhere and would be happy to ship them out to you. Let me check when I get home to confirm I still have them (and the part numbers).

If you cannot order the part, use Ruth's adhesive for PVC pipes, you can get this at any hardware store or big box. Check to see if it does bond to what you are using. It will do a good job sealing the plug to the metal of the car. Waterproof, heat resistant.
