That's a good idea, but I'm not sure it would work for the conical antenna spot in my Saturn. I got a black marshmallow shaped "foamy" from Michael's arts and crafts and used that as a plug :



The foamy worked well for me because it was able to compress-to-fit. No UV degradation as far as I can tell.

Another option would be a rubber plug that you can get in the specialty fastener section of hardware stores (I love the specialty fastener section, great place for ideas).
