    Ford screwed me out of 2 rivets.

    Well, it did take me 16 years to realize it but Ford only supplied 3 of the four rivets on each side of the Cobra. I filled the hole with some silicon to prevent water from getting in the door and repainted the trim piece that sits above the rivets.:rolling:
