I know the subject of Rivet Replacement gets so much attention!! I have found all the postings so incredibly helpful! We are about to undertake replacing the rivets in our 93 16ft Scamp. Many of the snap-caps are literally deteriorating. I am definitely wanting to order our new ones from Pro-Dec as so many have suggested. When looking I noticed they have a new version of snap caps that are hinged so that the washer and snap-cap are one.
Has anyone tried these? I would love to know if they would be better, worse or the same as the typical snap cap washer combo.
Thanks!!

I've used the snap-caps (one piece) inside my camper. Not one has undid itself. As to using them outside, I have no experience with that. I got mine at Lowes hardware store. I'm guessing HomeDepot would have them too...
Below is a picture of what I've used while modifying some areas in my Scamp using screws instead of pop-rivets.
Haven’t used the hinged ones, but can’t see that I would on the exterior. Pro Dec has so many colors available I’ve always wanted to try a color or color combination, but haven’t been brave enough, yet.
