I need help finding rear hatch vent window plugs for car washing. I had seen a vendor on the forum with some silicone rubber plugs for $350.00. but cannot find the thread.

I was sweating this also when it comes time for my first car wash and that happened to be today. I simply laid a towel in both air vents on the back hatch of my coupe and stuck a towel in mail slot opening at the bottom of the glass. Hand washed the car with no problem at all. No flood in my engine compartment. Very easy!
