Question Rivets on roof rusted out..

Okay so as this thing is sitting in my driveway and I plot out how Im going to restore this girl to her original beauty I keep finding more and more things wrong with her. On the roof one of the rivets has been rusted out on the front and rear ends and is leaking into the interior when it rains. Storm last night is the only reason I found out this soon.

She is a 1992 S-10 Blazer. Anyone have any Ideas on how I can fix her? I figured I could just cut out the rust and bondo the hole and tack the rivet back down somehow but I would prefer to keep it looking clean up there if possible.

Either weld up the holes and leave the roof rack off or go find one in a junk yard you can cut a patch panel out of to fix it. The bondo will not fix it nor hold and will be leaking again in no time.
