[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 75179, member: 55"] The nuts on the outside leave me to believe this is a real shoddy job. I would remove the fasteners and such, and replace with either a round head phillips machine screw or a rivet. If you go with the machine screw route, put a dab of 3M 5200 sealant under the head before you tighten it down, and a nyloc nut on the inside. The rivet will need no sealer, but if you wish, you could put some on. Just expect it to shoot out the sides, inevitably onto a new bit of upholstery, or a good shirt when you buck the rivet.
