All the gear, and no idea!
I’d like to take the bike rack rails (Fiamma) off the back of my new to me Moho and I was just wondering what holes would be left and the best way of filling them and leaving the rear looking smart! Any ideas??
 
you probably know that you can remove the rack completely ane leave the brackets putting new Fiamma ( assuming it is fiamma ) caps over them.

if you remove the brackets it will require hole plugging and paintwork blending in.
 
Most likely you will have eight 5mm holes, in pairs about 50mm apart. Put some tape over the inside of the holes and fill with Sikaflex sealant. Then pop down to Your local car accessory shop/Halfords and buy four red oblong reflectors, they are usually self adhesive and will cover the holes. And you can drive around happy knowing following traffic are admiring your rear end.

Google 'Halfords Red Reflectors 85 x 30mm'

When I changed our bike rack to a windup version, it was taller than the original, so I fill the outside old bolt holes with white Sikaflex and covered all the holes over in one go with a length of chequered sticker, and I used a beige acrylic caulk that matched our wall covering on the old bolt hole on the inside of the van and you would not know they were there.

I too have an Adria and have removed most of the bike rack. I know there are Fiamma parts available to cover the memory of a bike rack but to date I have been unable to locate them.
