new body kit problems... HELP!!

[Craig]

i've had my car sent in today for a new bodykit all the parts fit perfect. But... as my car is a punto hgt, it already had a roof spoiler fitted above the back window which was fitted by two bolts going through the glass of the window.

( you can probably guess where i'm going with this one)
anyway, the new abarth spoiler does not use or cover these holes so, if it rains i'm in the $#it!

any ideas? at the mo, it looks like i'm going to have to shell out for a new rear window, which would probably mean it'd been cheaper for my to sell my punto hgt and bought an abarth in the first place!
can you buy plugs for this sort of thing?

1. there are loads of companies that make plugs. look for a plastic fittings company and ask for some samples that size. I could give you some companies to try but i'm not at work at the mo!

2. Try and fill it with silicone, this would do the job but may need changing every few years.

3. get a window off a punto with no spoiler from a scrap yard and fit that. i don't know how they are fitted but i assume it can be done!

In my opinion i would go for the plugs..

I will be very suprised if some of the bodystyling companies dont sell plugs for this sort of thing.

My mate glued in some kitchen cupboard cover things (On his HGT155), they are pretty flat and he got some clear rubber ones, they look pretty good.
