Hmmmm, hadn't thought of that. I am planning (well, may reconsider now) buying a rivet gun this weekend, to remount all the z-clips with rivets. I'm having a problem with one z-clip. The curb side rear bed window, rear z-clip, is being bent out at 90° every time I open the rear shell. Because I've had to remove it a few times to hammer the z-clip flat, the mounting screws no longer hold. Rather than go to a larger diameter screw, I figured rivets would be the way to go. But first, I have to figure out what it is catching on. I can't figure it out, and you would think the z-clip would damage whatever it was catching on - scratch, or rip, or gouge, something.
