So I am still in the process of sealing up all my window/roof leaks. Relating to the roof, I removed the drivers side, long aluminum section that covers the roof/upper body seam (a very long drip rail, correct name?) in preparation for resealing. My wife helped me remove it, definitely a two person job. Anyway after it was out of the way my roof up by the driver has about three of large head pop rivets that hold the roof edge to the aluminum frame missing. Today I'm planning on figuring out what happened (just heads snapped off, whole rivet fell out, or oxidized and disintegrated). Whatever the results I need to add pop-rivets back in place to re-secure the roof. Does anyone know the correct rivets to use? I only use closed end rivets on the roof so as to not create another leak point, even though these are covered, and these do have the extra large heads but I am not sure of the "grip" depth I need to purchase. When I get to looking today maybe I can figure it out, but it is very early here in Orlando and sitting here drinking my coffee, I figured I'd ask since I'm sure this has been discussed before but probably under a painting thread or something else to where I cannot find it, so I'm going to ask a related window question in another topic discussion...
Thanks for any assistance,
