In the shower enclosure of my trailer a number of the screw covers are missing. In the picture to the left is one that is intact. In the picture on the right are two that are broken. I'm concerned that the right-most one has more problems than a new cover will fix. I call them screw covers but when I search on that I find something different. So what are these and where can I find replacement ones?
You need to goop those holes up with some silicone before you start having rot and/or corrosion issues due to water intrusion into the walls and framing.
I call them screw caps or fastener caps.
Here's an example: click
Thanks for the link. Those look pretty close. I need to pull one off and see what's actually inside the hole. In my picture, I'm worried that something is actually broken on the rightmost screw hole.

I have yet to use the shower. Getting it sealed up is one of those things that's on my (long) list of maintenance tasks. I'll be sure to put some sealant into the hole and under the screw cap to keep it in place. Rot isn't super likely around here. The humidity level hovers around 25%. Not that it means I can let stuff like this continue unaddressed.
I was misinterpreting the pictures, sorry. After expanding them I see those are the broken remains of the caps/plugs in question. At first glance I thought I was seeing broken holes in the wall of the enclosure. I was thinking "Man, you have bigger problems than a couple missing caps.......".
It would be easy enough to remove the caps and simply fill in with non-leveling Dicor or similar caulk. I'm not a fan of silicon based sealants. In fact, the easiest fix would be to simply cover the holes with a square of Eterna Bond tape.
If you are wanting to replace the broken pieces and return it to factory condition, check with a mobile home parts supply store. My favorite source for parts is PPL Motorhomes in Texas. If you can't find what you need on their website, give them a call. Link
