Hi 73VD,
WELCOME!
First Post!!
Revi gave you the link to the 'plugs'.
I'll caution you about installing them.
Many folks stick a phillips screwdriver in the hole and try to push the plug in place. This generally just pokes a hole in the end of the plug.
It helps to put a little lubricant (Vaseline) on the plug to help it 'slip' into the hole in the fiberglass, and use something with a smooth rounded tip (a piece of wooden dowel) to help urge the plug on it's way.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
Hope to see you around!

How timely for me. I have a carpet install coming soon and I didn't think about, I don't remember seeing them when I removed the carpets.
I thought about using the the carpet and trim adhesive from Al Knock to hold the carpet in place.
Man, those simple plastic plugs - 9 for $15 and $6 S&H, must be that Corvette tax I heard about!

I'm I correct to assume there is a hole in the plugs and the tool, or in this case, the wood dowel fits inside?
I'm going to be in for some fun, I laid down the ultra sticky, foil covered tar gummy, sound and heat insulation. I wonder instead of peeling back the insulation and going through lining up the hole, it just might be easier just to drill some new holes in the area of the old plugs?
