Bob has 30 plus years in the auto body repair business so you might think that repairing the skins on this would be easy for him. He has found that because of the construction and the light weight of the aluminum some of the damage is best left. On the front of the Airstream there where two tears, one on either side, some basic repair was done and then Bob created two matching aluminum patches, siliconed underneath to prevent leaks into the trailer and used the Olympic rivets to apply the patch's. I think you can see from the pictures that the look is just fine and in a way I think it adds something to the front. We also used the same technique to cover the antenna holes since we don't plan on replacing that.
