Duct tape if it's your vehicle, it'll hold till you fix it right. If it's your house, you got the wrong forum.

Roofing patch tar, or waterproof marine body filler. That's what I just recently used to stop water splashing inside an aging Toyota so I wouldn't have to sponge the carpets dry after driving in the rain.

Good thing the business end was pointed toward space.

I can imagine the eventual for sale ad.....Nice F350, no rust, bullet hole in ceiling, runs good.

You COULD install a periscope in the hole.

Foil duct tape from the inside ,then on top of the cab some ( RTV ) to get you past the rainy time,

then as stated above ( WELD it closed ) !

I used the silver ( RTV ) on a silver Crown Vic X cop car and drove like that for years it never

leaked and we sold it like that last summer !


P.s. texasft ( HOWS YOUR HEARING ) ! CAN....YOU...HEAR....ME...NOW.....LOL..!

I patched a bunch of roof rack holes in my wife's Wagoneer with foil backed rubber tape, applied from the inside. cut the small patch, stick it on, and heat lightly with a propane torch before burnishing it on. You'll find a use for the rest of the roll real quick.
