When I bought the dart the antenna was out and in the trunk since the original radio is missing and a new stereo was chopped ( :'() into it's place instead. Anyways the hole is still there in the fender. I sort of like the looks of the car without the antenna so what can I use to just plug that hole to stop any water from getting down there?  :shruggy:

This was my plan but I couldnt find anything that would work, the only plugs were for sinks or bathtubs  :brickwall:

Lowes....go to the cabinet hardware section...they have all sizes of plastic thin plugs that look like the old Mopar lighter delete plugs.

My bud found a nice chrome plug at the local parts store for his coolant recovery tank, id say it was near the size of an antenna hole just a simply push in job.

go to a car stereo place or home stereo for that matter. they should have something that will work if you want to plug the hole, if it were me close it up make it disappear thats what i did on my road runner.

If my car already wasn't painted then I would probably do that but doing it now would require more than what I wanted and if I ever sell the car someone might want to put the radio and antenna back in the car.

Get one of those antennas that unscrew from it's base, just install the base.
