Guys was removing my side steps the other day and noticed a lot of holes in the underbody of the body they are all holes that have had screws or bolts through at some stage.
What i am wondering is how everyone else goes at plugging these up
do you
1. use silicone
2. put bolts back in to fill hole
3. buy rubber gromets to fill holes
i am looking at just filling with silicone so i dont get water in

Factory side steps? get some rubber grommets, either from super cheap, or the wreckers from same model.

If their small holes, like the ones i had, screws, etc i used rivets and then sprayed both sides (inside and out) with cavity wax to seal them up fully

I used silicone with a bit of tape over the top side under mats.

How can the water get out if you block all the holes

if you block all the holes, no water can get in, so you dont need to worry about that

use automotive/steel sikaflex not silicone its more paintable. but a bigger bonus is it wont cause your car body to rust out! which your everyday silicone will
