[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1213536, member: 25896"] You must drill out the rivets, as Redfish said. I found suitable replacement rivets at NAPA, but small nut & bolt combo would probably work. The rivets I used were quite robust, and needed a firm squeeze or three on the rivet gun. There's a metal backing plate for each hinge that you must line up when you re-rivet or screw the cover back on, and is the most finicky part of the reinstall process. I used a small dab of silicone to hold the metal plates in position -- let it set up overnight and proceeded with the riveting the following day. [/QUOTE]
