Choosing the Right Rivet for your Airstream Repair

What types of rivets are installed on an Airstream? Solid Rivets (Buck Rivets) - Both Soft and Hardened, this rivet type is used on the exterior shell – ends, sides and roof. Blind Rivets (Open and Closed End) – Used for attaching exterior trims, underbelly, wall structure and interior skin. Bulb Type Rivets (Olympic Rivet) – Used to attach awning brackets, slide out trim, replacement of buck rivets as a repair, and often used during a service repair.
