What size should the rivets that hold the seal onto the folding section of the roof be? I can't seem to find any long enough locally so I need to order some up online.

irked Well what a tt that turned out to be... In the end I peeled the trim back and bit the bullet big time. Old holes filled with Loctite Repair Express Epoxy Putty (Think it's called Biond N' Lock now), sanded down so I retained the original profile and then redrilled 3.2mm.

That ain't going anywhere now, for me it was pissing in the wind trying to reuse the original holes.
