Kim Geyer is an unknown quantity at this point
We have had 2 with the skin peel up. One of them even tore the skin down the side. The one I'm working now has 3 missing rivits.
My fix is to drill out all the rivits,cut strips of .032 alum. for doublers and use screws and nuts. reriveting is most likely not going to work because the inlet is fiberglass and the rivits will just pull through. It's not too bad of a job, you'll scratch your arm all to heck getting the doubler and the nuts started.
Hope this helps
Kim
