Hi

I checked with Ford they do not make any rubber plugs for the 3 holes in the bottom of the tailgate, squirrels have used the holes to stuff pine cones in the tailgate , I got them all out and had to tape the holes.
Does anybody make any plugs for this?

Not having seen these holes I assume they are for water drainage?

They look like drain holes and maybe holes to access the mechanisms in the tailgate for adjustment?

How about cutting metal screen to size and attach around the edges with Velcro so if the screens get clogged they can be removed for cleaning? Not sure if the squirrels could get the edges of the Velcro up to get in the hole.
