Since I deleted the winshield washer fluid reservoir, I still wanted to keep the top of the fill tube so I didn't have a hole in the hatch. Now, there is no problem just putting that piece back in as is, but I wanted to make sure that in case someone ever tried to put fluid down there, I wouldn't have to rip apart my interior again to clean up the mess. I used the cap off a small jelly jar (like the kind at a diner) to cap off the tube. Then, I used clear RTV silicone to seal the gap and to seal off the smaller hole in the fill tube. I filled it up with water and no leaks! A zip tie was used to hold the tube in place so it didn't move around and rattle - the silicone also keeps the metal cap from rattling against the body. This and the antenna were somewhat ghetto rigged, but I felt that the approaches I took were the best to keep it lightweight, dummy proof, and looking good.
