A small clip in cover is supposed to cover those holes. they are available from several vendors for around $5.00.

You can get them at a Chevy dealer for about $5.00. Mine had them in stock. Ask for door panel plugs. The shale ones were about $12 each.

The part # you are looking for is GM Part # 10279471 in black. I have about 8 of them because I keep hooking them with my fingernails and the tabs keep breaking off when they come out. I will try the RTV next time I have to replace one.

The OEM ones will make your car faster... but, you could get a tune if your using the aftermarket ones...
Did you check to see if your missing parts were throwing any codes?










Just messin with ya...

Wow, I didn't know anything went in them! I thought the last owner of my car was just punched holes in the door panel for some reason. At least I know it's an easy fix and I don't have to replace the entire panel. But $12 for shale???
