Question Thor Axis 25.2 Rear Slideout Gasket Housing

I recently found the lower 2 to 3 Gasket Housing Rivets popped off while cleaning the RV. Any idea(s) as to why after 3 years these rivets are popping?

My guess? A Friday installation. More likely just metal fatigue. Rivets pop. Easy to replace rivets or just screw it.

Good answer. If your new pop rivets or stainless screws fail, look deeper for the cause. Maybe a little spray silicone on the surface that gasket slides on.
