2017 171. Long story short, dealer had to replace my shower surround. They did not re-install the plastic push rivets, just tape and silicone I imagine. I purchased the rivets, but need a reminder as to the exact location and spacing. A pic, or quick measurements would be helpful. ------------- 2018 R-Pod 171 2014 VW Touareg TDI |

They are almond colored plastic push type fasteners that are in the newer pod showers. The pods with plastic walls.
I believe they run on along the top and bottom. ------------- 2018 R-Pod 171 2014 VW Touareg TDI |

ahhh.. our Lance does in fact have those.. Pod didn't.. Airstream had regular rivets..  what I would do is just drill new holes, the odds are pretty long you will hit an old hole.. ------------- |
