    3. Lightly press the drill against the rivets to drill off the rivet flanges, and remove the 2 rivets.

      Note


      • Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.

      • Be careful of the drilled rivets, as they may be hot.

    4. Remove the No. 2 windshield outside moulding clip.
