Tape the 4 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.
Lightly press the drill against each of the 6 rear door window frame moulding rivets labeled (A) and (B) shown in the illustration, and drill off each rivet's flange.
Tech Tips
The rivets labeled (A) are the installation rivets of the rear door window frame moulding.
The rivets labeled (B) are the installation rivets for both the rear door window frame moulding and rear door belt moulding.
Note
Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.
Do not pry the rivets with the drill, because this may cause damage to the installation holes of the rivets or the drill bit.
Be careful of the drilled rivets as they may become hot.
Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
