Anyone make plugs for the F33 rear headrest holes?

I tried search and google and couldn’t find anything. My googlefu is weak.

Since no one sits in the rear at all, while trying to figure out how to mount a rifle lock behind the seat (I don’t use the wind deflector so it stays in the garage), I removed the headrests and like not having them.

I don’t like the look of the holes though. Anyone make anything or have access to a 3D printer?

I wish I had a 3D printer. I guess if I make the file I can go to our library and have them print it. I’m going to hit the hardware store sometime today during my shift and see what I can find.

The best thing I could find was these holes was 4 of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232784369039 (25mm x 25mm)

Excuse the dumb question but how exactly did you take the headrests off. I’d like to do that but cannot figure out how they come off.

The holes are still open . I gave up.
Doesn’t bother me anymore. Need to figure out how to use them to mount a rear dash cam.

I put the top down (obviously) and I can’t remember if there was a lever but you have to yank up really hard. It feels like it’s stuck but they will come out.
