[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 441992, member: 13599"] The vintage Lone Stars have a rubber strip in the overlapping seams. over time, debris, like sand, salt, twigs, etc. can get wedged in there to make it more or less permanently compromised. you must power wash the leaking areas to try to get as much foreign matter out as possible . . . then, go with whatever means necessary to get it sealed. once you start removing rivets, it could turn into the worst nautical nightmare you have ever had. Leave the rivets in place and tighten them up - first. [ATTACH type="full" alt="open seam 007.JPG"]94575._xfImport[/ATTACH] . [/QUOTE]
