Default Rivots for windshield trim clips

Any info/tips on reinstalling the trim clips for the front windscreen? I am thinking stainless rivots. My concern with aluminum is corrosion. RTV to seal them.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

See if you can find Monel alloy rivets - Should cope better with dissimilar metals corrosion than Stainless.

RTV sealant should be OK so long as it is not the anaerobic cure type (Relies on exclusion of air) Otherwise I'ld use a urethane windscreen sealant or even a neutral cure silicon (does not emit acetic acid - vinegar while curing.)
