Don't worry I am not driving around with it like that. Since this campershell is made out of really thin aluminum I think what I am going to do is get a 3" strip of sheetmetal and use that as a backing plate where I cut it and rivet it together which sounds really okie but from the side you will probably only be able to see about 4-6 rivet and they will be very small. I will also do a little bondo work just like any bob job and a nice coat of silicon so I can sleep in there and be nice and dry. If you have suggestions on better ways of how I should do it let me know
