I'll tell you a little secret.  If you go to a commercial communications 
store (a real radio store, not a Radio Shack), they'll be glad to sell you a 
handfull of rubber plugs made to patch antenna holes in sheet metal.  I once 
bought a Wildlife Department pickup which must have had a dozen radio 
antennas mounted in the roof.  One trip to the local Motorola 2-way place got 
me enough plugs to fix them all.  They're cheap, too - as I recall, I came 
out with change from a $5.00 bill.  Today, I swear that pickup's roof has 
more rubber than it does sheet metal.  I know these plugs come in 3/8 inch 
and 3/4 inch diameters but they may also come in other diameters (3/8 and 3/4 
were the only sizes I needed at the time).
Regards.  Cloyce.
