Anyone had the blanking plug area for LHD front wipers smoothed?

Does this make sense? Lol you know how there's three holes on the scuttle panel for the windscreen wiper mounts, and obviously one isn't used and just has a blanking plug in? Well mine's rusted, and is letting water in through the windscreen seal. Anyway, was talking to the guy that does my bodywork, and he said it'll cost £75 to get it repaired, new bit welded in, or for an extra £5 he said he'd make it smooth, so there was no ridge , there was the two ridges for RHD wipers, and the third one would just...not be there. Has anyone had this done, or got pics of it having been done?

I have no rust on mine but tihnking the same idea i tihnk it would look more OEM+ and is a good idea as you then solve one more rust prone area as water will just run off ??

I know the reason for it being there, and I know that I won't need it..I jus wanna see how it looks.

Wooow....that's painful. Is that because the rust was left?

Have a clicky on the link in my signature and see the full extent of what it eventually caused and what im now going to have to tackle.
