Default Rear Fender Rattle when using solo seat

Got a question for you guys as I am sure someone out there has experianced this as well. I have a solo sundowner seat with the detachable passanger seat. When I am running solo, which is most of the time, there is a rattle coming from the rear bolt hole where the passager seat screws in, HD provided a nice cheap plastic cover to cover the hole, but it rattles...in fact it rattled so much it fell off on the highway, no it dont rattle anymore, but it looks like ****! Anyone here come up with a way to cover this ugly screw hole?

if you go to an auto parts store you can get a thicker push pin for the hole, or you can get something to put in the scew hole (if you have the set screw back there for the passanger pin) i put a rubber washer around mine, then a polished stainless washer, then scew in a spike when i am not using the pass seat

Fender Bib fixed my rattle.
I have had non riders see the passenger pegs and bib say that it cant be comfortable on the back.
