Question Rocker pannel ?

Is there any trick to getting the rocker pannels off my car. I was planning on drilling out the rivits, removing, cleaning etc then reattaching w/ new rivits. Any suggestions/advice would be great! Thanks.

Hey dont drill them!

If they are the plastic type here is what i did.

I used a finishing nail about the size of the center part of the rivet. I grinded the sharp end of the nail off, and used it as a punch to punch out the center part of the rivet. It's a good idea to put something under the car to catch the center part of the rivets as the fall in the rocker panel or on the floor.

Next I carefully took off the outter part of the rivets from the holes. Ok I broke a couple of them, but saved 9 out of 12 rivets.

You can then reuse them.
