+1 on the Sugru. I think most computer shops sells them.

It is easily removable rubber when no longer needed, but solid.

This Di2 plug came with my bike. Check with your LBS. I'm sure they will have something similar.

I am going to cover hole with rubber gun. That's easy to cover and easy to eliminate.
you can find this at hardware store around home.
that's the best way.

An old topic but anyone using sugru after removing the bottom bracket gear cable guide? Did you remove the guide completely? And how you cover it with sugru or anything else?

I am also going for the Sugru solution. Seems an easy and, more importantly, clean solution.

I stick a piece of 3M tape that's used for frame surface protection over it because that's a pretty big area to cover. Sugru works great for small holes though Image

+1 to Sugru. Works perfect for me. I mix yellow and red for the "perfect orange" as described in their website. you can use it as a guide also.

Super late response but I use these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Rubber-Gromm ... SwpDdU4UG7

Had to cut the bottom (non visible) part to fit it in some of the holes but they've not fallen off after a year and 5000+ miles in every condition.
