Rear Tire Fender Skirts
If someone has a moment, we need to know how rivets the Factory used to fasten the rear tire skirt to the frame.  And if someone can help us, thanks in advance.

Footnote.   We paid to have both skirts fixed but the ABS repair failed twice.  So now we going to replace them with replacements from Todd.

I don’t think the shop used sufficient rivets on either side.  Needless to say, the expenses for this issue are wearing us out.

Not sure exactly what you mean, "how rivets".

On a side note, the wife did the repair mentioned here with the ABS patch added where the wing nut and washer goes, however it is too thick. We need to shave it down some where the washer goes. .
Nice to know Todd has some still.

Also not sure of your meaning, Ed. They are just common rivets holding a piano hinge in place. Drill them out to remove the skirt. Need a little more explanation of what's up.

When lifting the skirt and looking at the hinge attached to the RV, how many rivets are holding the hinge in place?  Hope this is a better explanation.

On the driver side of mine, there are five rivets and on the passenger side, four. They are sloppily done with spacing that varies from 5" to 10".
