I had a rivet on the roof fail. I had just brought it home and we were ready for our maiden adventure.
The Florida monsoon let enough water in that it was obvious an issue was up. A dab of silicone over the empty rivet hole fixed the problem. I also resealed the roof where two sheets of aluminum meet. I removed the old caulk and replaced it with new. This fixed a leak that looked like it was a window leak. A PO had tried sealing around the window without removing the window to do it properly.
