I am looking for a source for that rubber plug that goes on the top of the radiator shroud ? Anybody know where I can find one of those? Mines been missing for years on my 91 and it annoys me. GC

Das hole located on top of radiator shroud on passenger side next to the oil cooler lines. I would like a rubber or plastic plug to cover that hole. It had a rubber plug in there at one time but it deteriorated over time

Another option if you have a lathe is whip one up out of aluminum.

I have an upper support that's inked as a '90 with the plug and on the back-side it's ID'd as an RE10 - I ain't knocking it out to measure the hole and I might try to ID RE another time.

OP - you've got the hole how about a dimension?

If you GOOGLE - "button hole plug" OR "flush plug button" you'll be presented with 100's of choices. I believe those very likely a correct very generic application description. In town "local" I'd think there's likely nearly a dozen choices - maybe more.

There was a 1" GM# 4410574 that if were dimensionally correct looks to be maybe either the plug or very similar. Of course it's NLA so .... That's the only "rubber" I've seen part #'d.

I found my plug at 20th Street Auto. Ask for Larry (800) 999-4911 X1003 or email partsdept@20thstreetauto.com. Mine was pulled from a standard C4 junker that I spotted online with the hood open.
