      Note


      • Make sure to protect both the inside and outside of the vehicle as the rivet shavings will fly apart.

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

      • Do not pry the rivets with the air drill, because this may cause damage to the installation holes of the rivets or the drill bit.

      • Be careful as the cut rivet will be hot.

    4. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
