Default Convertible Body Rivets

I just bought a 1990 LX 5.0 convertible and noticed that it has a lot of rivits under the car on the bottom sides of the rocker panels and also the reenforcement plates are rivited too. Is this correct?

No however one rivet is popped. I just never owned a vert before so all this is new to me. I will tell you that my vert is totally stock and it does rattle when I go over rough roads. My vert has only 24k on the clock so I'm assuming its a vert thing and not a (worn out suspension thing) if you know what I mean......

ehhh, my car rattles all the time. But I think my subs helped loosen things up a little bit. Now I have to go around an tighten interior screws and the like about ever six months. But I know of nothces and hatches that are rattleing as much as mine. These cars are old no matter how you put it.
