    Nylon

    Shaking and rattling won’t dislodge these plugs. They have tabs that compress when pushed into the hole and then pop out on the other side to lock in place. These are the most secure panel plugs—you’ll need a tool such as a screwdriver to remove them.
    Nylon—Durable and wear resistant, these plugs also resist oils, solvents, and mild acids.
