How have others closed up the small opening or hole on each side of the fuselage, just below and aft of the leading edge of the wing?

Thanks.

I just filled mine with clear silicone and then shaved it flush.  It's good to seal it against carbon monoxide, but how you seal it probably isn't a big deal.  Fiberglass and epoxy and fairing filler would work fine pre-paint.  I did mine after painting.  It's not really too easily noticed.

Any idea why the hole is there?
