[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 206300, member: 55"] Put a dab of 3M 5200 under the heads before you tighten them down. It will ooze out from under the head. Wipe it off, leaving a nice even bead around the screw head. However, I'd drill the hole out to the next even size, and install a solid rivet in it's place. No need for sealant or anything else at that point. [/QUOTE]
