Default Rear Deck holes

I am trying to find a way to plug the two holes left in my rear deck when I remove the rubber bumpers for the spare tire. I have taken off my spare and have a 3rd brake light assembly installed, but want to get rid of the rubber bumpers, but it leaves me with 2 holes that are approximately 1/2" in diameter. I have located rubber grommets, but they have a hole in the center, and I want something that plugs this off so no water can enter the rear deck.
Anyone know of a source. I have checked with all of the auto parts stores, etc., but no luck.

Vector offroad make metal discs to replace the front hood nipples, and would also plug your rear gate holes. Details in this thread, plus a couple of cheaper home-brew alternatives

Westchester, you just saved my bacon. I have been looking for something to plug these holes for a long time. I love this forum for this reason, there is always someone who has knowledge of an item that you just cannot find no matter how hard you look. Thanks again for your help with this.

Check radioshack as well, or an electric supply store.
