[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 487275, member: 15636"] They are not meant to be watertight and I bet they wouldn't stay watertight. Never mind moisture would form in there due to condensation. I had the same issue on my saltwater tin boat, so I removed them, cleaned and sealed the area well, then put in all new rivets. Done, no leaks ... good for another 20 years! [/QUOTE]
