I am so happy to have found this thread, I am not alone!!!
Has anyone considered and/or tried silicone to lubricate and then help to secure the plugs? Before finding this thread that was my next best idea.

Thanks for the great info!!!
I had many leaking plugs.
I just redid about 40 holes in my panels. I used kids bubble stuff for blowing bubbles to lubricate. I used a q-tip to apply it to the channel, put the plug in and pushed with a Robertson screw driver and each plug went in 2"-3" with little effort. I then used a q-tip to clean out/dry the channel and then filled the 2"-3" behind the plug with black silicone.
I will wait 24 hours for the silicone to cure and then I am fairly confident I will have no leaks.
