Antenna hole cap?

I removed my power antenna yesterday because it wasn't working and now I want to plug the hole with a cover or cap. Does anyone know of a specific product to plug the hole or know of something that might work? I think that eventually I'll have it filled and repainted when I have a couple of other spots fixed but was hoping there's something I could use until then to cover the hole. Thanks for any info you might have.

Why not just fix the antenna most times it is just a $20 mast.

I need to look at that too. I thought I'd do that with it on the car but the wires were cut for some reason. When I tried jumping them back to the original port I didn't get anything from the motor. I need to open it up and look.

I'm interested in any members solution for this hole. AM FM radio is a technology I don't use anymore with commercial free music streaming from my phone. I too would like to find something to cap the hole.

Home Depot may carry assorted caplugs various sizes. I have used them to plug up a round hole it snaps right in. Www.caplug.com

Faucet hole covers or sink hole covers will work. Available in different diameters some snap in place some have a threaded stud. Finish is galvanized, chrome or stainless steel.

Electrical box hole covers may work.

Paint to match.

Check with whoever handles the disposal of former police vehicles. They have many holes that usually have some form of plug in them.

Antenna Hole Solution

Remove the antenna shaft. Leave the black bezel in place. Go to a hardware store and buy a small black rubber stopper. Fit into the antenna shaft hole.
