Default Process to fill holes in frame

A few years ago, I made an awful decision to pruchase side diffusers. In order for them to stay on, I am to drill 3 holes and use a screw to secure it. I took them off and wondering how to fill it back up. How should I go about this? It started to rain here so water might of slipped in. Any advice would be great. Also I apologize ahead of time, there is no search function on mobile.

Just no.

If you are unable to do so yourself, take it to a professional.

Just personal preference. Every time I crawled under the car, I would have to look at a dab of silicone and shake my head, when I could spend a few hundred dollars to get the holes filled properly so that you would never know they are or were there.

Spot welding or lead solder them closed after prepping the area and grinding smooth. Then apply paint, undercoat and you are done, you do want to do it correctly.
