Arnold- Bill's right, these things exist all over the place. I fund a bunch of folks on Ebay that sell various versions of these thingys. Very promising. I've never pop riveted anything so I'm assuming with these you just make sure you have a proper sized hole and use a pop rivet gun to squish the back against the metal. Then use a Stainless screw with some locktight or something to finish the repair? How do you figure out which one of these things to buy? There are a ton of them. I would imagine they'd have to be pretty short to hold tight to the aluminum panels. Any recommendations on what size to buy for general "trim" type repairs? I'm guessing if you really need some super strength, you wouldn't be using these?? Or am I not thinking right about how effective these are?
