Look what just happened:
A brat wrote with a question about rub rail repair. He got the usual quick answers and advice. But then...this is what happened next:
Joel,
Sorry to hear about your rubrail. If you can get access from the inside then you can just drill out the existing holes and re-rivet, however if no access, just fill in the existing holes with 5200 sealant and re drill new holes an inch or so away from the old holes. You will need to make new holes in your rubrail but that will not be a problem, and you can either secure with screws or rivets.
I hope that this information is helpful and don't hesitate to contact me direct with any further questions or comments.

The new C-Dory factory chimed in very quickly with good advice straight from the horse's mouth!! How refreshing. Thank you Scott.
How many years has it been since that happened?
