Unfortunately I had to drill out and destroy all of the ones on my car.  I
should have taken some close-up photos first...

I have some interesting rivets I bought once, at a hardware store
going-out-of-business sale.  The bottom end
is sealed, so there is no path for moisture to pass through the center
hole.  I might use those.
