2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Corris Grey

Plastic mushroom head bolts??

My 110 SW had 7 seats. What a

taking out the 3rd row fold away seats to make a bigger boot. Only a 2014 model but ceased chronic.

This leaves holes. I’m loathed to put back the original bolts as they were a right pain to get out. My thoughts were to put in some grease to prevent further corrosion then possibly some plastic plugs or bolts to close the holes. Preferably something low profile as I’d like to fit carpet.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

On those seat and striker holes that were threaded, i fitted new replacement stainless fasteners from the underside. Selected the appropriate length so the fastener thread would more or less fit flush with the inner floor and wheel arch boxes.
