Rivet size for rub rail

Hey all. Got a small section of lower rib rail detaching between the door and wheel well of my 2020 Bambi 22FB. Anyone knows what size rivet I should use? Thanks.

Adding to my own original post... Are these secured by screws or rivets on a recent AS? Browsing the forum, I've read both but mostly have seen pictures with screws.

Also, do folks reco I caulk the screw/rivet hole before refastening the rail?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
