[QUOTE="srr5008, post: 193937, member: 4287"] After peeling up the carpet from all the aluminum surfaces, I took a wire wheel and ground all the glue residue off.

While I passed the leak-test, I still wanted to coat the rivets with something for peace of mind. I read about products such as gluvit, but wound up going with a waterproof metal adhesive that I picked up at Lowes.
