I have no personal experience removing Airstream bodies but I have spent a life taking things apart. Like anything you do, practice makes perfect only I'm guessing you don't want too much practice....
I am sure you will find out it will be fine.
Good luck,
Bruce

There is a hold down plate in the rear too. On my unit the same rivets that went to the channel went through the plate too, or what was left of it.
