Use 1/8″ pop-rivets and simple pullers available from hardware stores, home centers and online at such places as Airstream Dreams and Crest Fasteners. The length will vary depending on the thickness of the material being riveted. Measured in 3/16th inch increments. Two skin layers use a -3, one skin layer and a rib (frame) use a -5, and so on. Pre-painting the rivet heads with spray paint before installing can make them near invisible.
