Mazda dealership? I think a few companies make block off plates for A/C, but not 100% sure. I removed my A/C and was planning to plug it with an OEM piece from Mazda. Another option is going to a junkyard and grabbing what you can find for the floor plugs and what not. Good luck.

Well, you can weld in small circular panels, or go to Mazda for the rubber plugs.

Umm. If we're talking about the same holes, then they are the drains for water damage to your interior(and what not). Stock, they come with rubber plugs. So again, a Mazda dealership would be your best bet.

The plugs are removed from the outside, not the inside. Unless you're the original owner, it's possible someone else has removed your plugs. Maybe you should snap a few pics so we can be sure of what you're talking about.

Just a thought: checked an electrical supply store? Electricians use all kinds of small metal plugs when working with conduit and junction boxes. Many different sizes are available at my local supplier.

I didn't think of that. Thanks I will check and see what home depot has. I had a mindset of looking for rubber pieces.

You guys just don't understand. He doesn't want to go to a junkyard, and he doesn't want oem plugs either. Sheesh!
