Dealer is 2-3 hours away. My wife is leaving on Friday for a month in Montana with the Safari. I get to fly out and join her for a week. So I'll probably just try another rivet for now. I too think the gap causes the rivet to shear.

We've had 2 interior rivets heads pop or fall off. The dealer replaced them with little alarm. I am feeling as thought this just happens from time to time as the body moves and shifts while it's in motion.

Buy a vintage unit and all of a sudden a missing rivet, or the fact that you have to replace one now and then just becomes part of camping!!
