Overall view 1

(1) 1 point (Clamp)
(3) 4 points (Countersunk rivet)
(5) 10 points (Countersunk rivet)
(2) 2 points (Countersunk rivet)
(4) 8 points (Blind rivet)

NOTES:

In locations where countersunk rivets are used, drill a pilot hole of 6.5 mm [0.26 in] in diameter. With the roof panel removed from the vehicle, taper the hole to a diameter of 12 mm [0.47 in] with a taper of 120° so the rivet head does not protrude above the roof panel. See images below.

Treat the cut remaining shaft of the rivet so it does not protrude above the rivet head. See images below.

Install the roof panel so the gap between the plate rail and roof panel in the structural adhesive application location is 2 mm [0.08 in] or less.
The clamps shown in (1) should be removed after the structural adhesive is completely cured.

3/16" x 1" Tri Grip Rivets - 50PCS - Tri-fold Marine Decorative Pop Rivets with Waterproof O Rings,Tri-Grip Rivets for Boat Canoe,Aluminum Blind Rivets Tri Grip Boat Kayak Rivets,Trifold Rivets

FIT SIZE - 3/16" hole size, head of tri grip rivet is about 3/8", black part is 1", Grip range is 1/6" - 1/2" (4MM-12MM). Rivet tool required for installation (𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒅).
ESPECIALLY FOR MARINE - The waterproof O-ring beneath the head to seal against water ingress in marine applications. The coating on the pop rivets is idea for the use of mounting accessories on your water crafts of all kinds.
LARGER AREA FOR SUPPORT - The body of the aluminum boat rivets splits into three distinct "legs" that spread out over a larger are, so rather than just squeezing two parts together, it spreads out to provide a larger surface area for support. This design provides greater surface bearing capacity and avoids the sag of the nail head or drilling through the riveting hole that occurs with ordinary rivets.
FOR MORE MATERIAL - Normal rivets work great when the back layer is steel or another hard metal that the rivet can expand against and not pull through. These tri-fold Rivets work better when the back layer is just about anything else as the 3 legs expand more like some of the toggle dry wall anchors and grip more surface area. The tri-fold pop rivets worked perfectly when aluminum sheet metal and wood or plastic frames were involved.
PACKAGE INCLUDED - 50 pcs blind rivet and 50 pcs waterproof rubber O-rings that makes the rivets firm in the deep water.
