[QUOTE="Mainline9, post: 443513, member: 22243"] I feel your pain. Vinyl has a lot going for it but there’s no denying that anything higher than your deck will telegraph through. Initially it will be nothing but a visual annoyance but time & traffic will eventually wear through over these rivets. Assuming you have ruled out replacing your dome head rivets beneath the vinyl with the large button head rivets above the vinyl, you may want to look at blind rivets with countersunk flat heads. Used properly, these will solve your problem. If you sink these too deep into your deck, the resulting void may telegraph unless you skim patch these low spots with Bondo or equivalent.
