Dumb Question on Some Fuselage Rivets

1001001

Well Known Member
OK, possibly a dumb question, but here goes:

There are some rivets on the RV-10 fuselage side skins F-1069 and F-1070 that are left open in the side skin assembly steps (pages 29-17 and 29-18). They are along the top edges of these skins.

I have searched through the construction drawings for another reference to these rivets and can't find any. Can anyone tell me why these are left open, and when they are finally installed? Is it part of the cabin cover installation (I can't find it in that section)?

I've been wondering about these rivets since I installed the side skins last fall and am now starting to worry about having access to set them.
