Default Door Repair (Where's Rosie-the-riveter when I need her?)

My coach was vandalized prior to my purchase. The vandals attempted entry (unsuccessful)by prying on the door. This damaged the door edge and broke the factory applied adhesive that held the door "sandwich" together. I have not had good success with replacing the adhesive so I reverted to the fastening method used by Newell for years......rivets. I purchased the rivets locally and got the tool from Byler rivet supply.

It doesn't look as smooth as the factory solution but IMO will be acceptable.........especially after the new paint job I have planned for the future.
