You don't want silicone but the proper PU sealant like sikaflex or tiger seal, floor and rivets sound fine.

I used 4mm closed end aluminium. Get plenty of pu in the holes to help prevent galvanic corrosion.
This combo will NEVER come of. You only really need a few rivets on the corners to prevent peel the Pu is that good it sticks like s###t to a blanket
In fact you could go down a size to 3.2mm with your little car and save a few grams.
