Seeing this post prompted me to enter my two cents, you don't screw them in with self tappers or anything, you use these things I like to call rubber rivets, I cant remember there real name, they work the same way as a normal rivet, but you don't use a rivet gun, there rubber with a little bit threaded bronze or something at the end and when you screw a screw into them, the rubber sandwiches the truck to the louver hinges, holding the louvers and sealing them, they can be removed as many times as you want and there's no need for caulk, or liquid nails, I have them on my car, and they have been working out great so far, every once in a while i'll check to see if any water is in the trunk lid, and it's always dry as a bone, and I live in the Northwest, a place which is in a constant state of rain.
