Re: [A/S] missing rivet



This is common in an Airstream, but not really a problem.  Every Airstream 
owner should have a pop rivet tool and a stock of aluminum rivets.  Normal 
flexing of the panels due to mechanical, and possibly thermal, movements can sheer 
rivets.  It's no big deal, just replace them as you notice one that has 
broken.

You should check under the Airstream from time to time to make sure all the 
rivets and screws are secure.
