Lowes. Do they have those in Spain? (El tienda de casa?)

I don't know the sizes though (pm pnoyako85), and don't forget some silicone around the plugs!

Since your X is black, you can cheat and get yourself a roll of 3m super 88 tape. Stamp out some small squares to place over the holes. It's significantly less noticeable than the plastic caps.

3m tape you think that will be 100% watertight?

Without a doubt. Mine made a year no problem (including but not limited to a million washes, Canadian winter, and numerous drives through rainstorms). I took them off a while back, when my caps got here, but have since put pieces back on for a few reasons.. 1) Tape blends much better, 2) After the sun "baked" the tape to the roof...the only way water was getting in is if the tape was punctured, 3) I wasn't particularly impressed with the way the caps sealed...the fitment definitely wasn't what I was expecting.

The super 88 was only meant to be a "temporary" solution until I had time to get the holes filled and re-shoot the roof....the Proper way to fill them holes!

Work fine for me. I used 3M Scrotchprint vinyl leftover from an interior trims wrapping job.
