Default Antenna hole plugs for fiberglass bodies

My Cobra has an old automatic antenna which does not work anymore and I would like to cover the hole with an antenna hole plug, however, the thickness of the fiberglass does not allow it to work well. Any suggestions of sources of these plugs will be appreciated. Black plastic polyurethane is ok with me, tha car is black.
Tks

They probably wouldn't match your black well but I went to NAPA when I had my Cobra and got a box of Black Rubber Frame hole plugs I think is what they called them and they came in all sizes and lengths. Just a rubber plug with a wide top kind of like a washer on a bolt. Also if you don't plan to use the antenna again you might have the hold fiber glassed over and match your paint perfectly. Maybe go to some Auto parts stores and talk to them about what they have.

Have you considered plugging the hole with layers of fiberglass and having it spot painted? Done correctly it will not be recognizable.

Look min the plumbing section at Lowes or Home depot. They sell metal hole plugs for sinks, that simply plug into the hole. Easily painted. Seal with silicone.
