Any good autofactors should be able to sell you a grommet, although it looks better if you fiberglass the hole and respray the tailgate.

stick a small piece of metal to the inside of the boot over the hole, using araldite then a quick skim of filler then paint over it and its done!

Either weld it up or leave it in.(get me or your dad to weld it up:roll: )

1. Go to vauxhall parts counter
2. Take ?3.50 out of your pocket
3. Ask parts lad for a "corsa aeriel blanking grommet" and watch him strugglr on ETKA until he finds it.
4. Give him the money and paint it body-colour and it looks almost as good as a welded finish but costs (wait for it!!) less than a fiver! It has a bolt on the back of it to stop it getting thieved.

I left the rubber grommit thing on and filled that with silicon sealant.
