(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.
