To check them, a wire or fine rod like an ice pick was gently inserted to see if they were missing the center piece. If they were they were best drilled out and a new rivet was installed. Escape industries did this for us and found three that needed replacement on our 2013 21 “Original Classic” or 21 OC OG OH-IO. We had three which Nigel said was about the most he’d found at the time in 2017. I wouldn’t be too worried about it but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Thanks, Dave! Since I had the belly band off, I cleaned the mold out of the channel with alcohol and put a dab of ProFlex on each rivet and in the unused holes. We should now be hermetically sealed.
