Roadster Rivet Question for All

[Charles Fuller]

I believe Jeff K. and many others have attached the rear trunk floor panel. Nowhere in the builder's manual can I find a photo or instructions. Attaching the panel after it goes over the edge (where the cutoff switch) is attached, there is no mention to riveting the panel to the back 3/4 by 3/4's. I believe FF used two sheet metal screws in this area for shipping. What have you done? Many Thanks

Just drill and install rivets the same as everywhere else. The rivets and caulk will help strengthen this area. There are other areas in the car where it isn't explicit how to attach, but I have always just followed the same proceedure.

I don't know if this will help, but you can see where I riveted my trunk panels.

I put a row of rivets along the bottom edge and then a couple in the vertical member near where the trunk lid catch installs.
