I think he needs to pul and install Screws. Should have been screws in the first place. A lot easier to replace when the washers go bad!
that is were I was going..

All at once? Sounded like he had a bunch of leaks. Art's been saving his tuna cans since he was in 2nd grade, but I'm assuming the OP has to start from scratch.copper p0rn

Now that I think of it, if these have been leaking for a number of years, the wood around them might be punky enbough that nothing will hold snug and every little windgust will loosen it back up again.

True
take the nails out and put in screws with a larger diameter and neoprene gaskets
