Re: loose rivets but don't want to rip up my carpet
Two questions for you sport - <br />1 - can you get access underneath the deck? Even just a few inches will do.<br />2 - are you prepared to use a centre punch or a pin punch on the rivet heads thru the carpet?<br /><br />If yes to both then place a very heavy weight under the rivet, touching it. Then use a punch and a heavy hammer. Give the rivet a good bang till it takes up the tightness. Just enough to tighten, no more. The strength is in all the rivets togeather, not just a few. Seal with whatever you can buy locally.<br />Good luck<br />Ross
