Can Replacement Awning Fabric Be Secured With Screws Instead of Rivets
Question:
When replacing the awning fabric the ends on my powered awning are held in by rivets rather than screws. Should I drill out the rivet and replace with screws since I don't have a rivet tool?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you can remove the rivets and use some self tapping screws to secure the # LCV000334398 and complete the installation. If you watch the video attached below starting at the 10 minute mark you will see where they used the # FA1131822 to finish installing the replacement fabric.
