Subject:Re: About those mud flap holes...

I filled mine with clear silicone... you can see the bead up close, but it
keeps the hole sealed, and is easily pulled off if I ever get around to
installing my mudflaps.

I've got this pair of holes at all four wheels (and a set of four flaps
with pins to match), I haven't seen another van with this setup. Do I have
some odd aftermarket version, or is this just an uncommon OEM setup?
