Thanks Tom - I agree, my goal is water tight, however I suspect I'll be quite happy with almost water tight.

Dean I remember you bringing them up before. Any recommendations on which size or type to use. On my coach looking like the factory rivets would be a nice to have but totally not necessary. I was thinking of a sealed blind rivet. I'll have to dig out my cleco fasteners to get everything lined up and my guide tape in place. I have to wait a bit to get the seam sealer Richard sent me a link for "that was the best price" - thanks. I also have to get a bunch of drill bits, looks like this project will be fun that way.

My plan thus far is to get the old trim/gutter off and pounded out to straighten it to remove the rivet divet's, then clean all the old stuff off. I'll have things in place for the guild tape on both sides to get ready for the seam sealer, I'd like to preserve the existing holes so hopefully I can leave in the fasteners while putting on the sealer. Then remove and clean them before it sets up. Should be interesting - that part. Then for behind the gutter/trim maybe eternal bond tape or butyl tape. I'd prefer not to use the butyl but it may be the best choice, we'll see. Once I decide I'll need to order a bunch more of either.

Where do you suggest getting a power riveted? I think that will be a mush have. Are the Harbor Freight ones ok?

Thanks again, appreciate your input.
