Squeeze a large hamsters head in it. Wont fall out as easy as a small one.

You could round it off and fit a rubber capped grommet, or make it the right size to fit an aerial of some sort.Mind you, I'm assuming the hole is on the outside.
If the car is nice and you want a better repair, headlining out, weld a plate to the back then fill and spray.

Afraid to ask, but how do we know the size of the hamster that could put it's head through the aforementioned hole? Have we tried?

But completely impractical...the hamster will die, start to decompose, and once the skin rots away it'll be too small for the hole and fall out.

Old boat building tip - as long as you dip the hamster in fibreglass resin before insertion, it'll be fine.



Possibly

Why not feed the hamster with food and water, keep it alive and trapped?

If arse down, may need to apply a nappy to it

Get a Hamster and he/she can have their own sun roof.

Failing that, cut it square, weld in a piece cut to size, tack it first, then weld it slowly in stages to not build too much heat and distroy the roof, gring the weld back, fill and paint, easy smile

Grind back to good metal - get jiggy with the miggy

Sorry for the response but the hamster option was already taken and the p38/p40 option also taken too

Don't forget to install a little wheel, so the hamster can get some exercise...
