Car is being stripped down ready for respray and i have been using this forum to research 'how to' do things as and when inspiration needed / it isn't clear / isn't working how it should do.
I've removed door seal, side glass, rear side glass and seal and A+B pillar trims and then drilled out the rivets holding the long extrusion / seal holder.
It all came out o.k, is reusable and i have the correct 9x4mm rivets ready to put it back.
It then occurred to me while looking, that my rivet gun has quite a wide tip and won't fit through the hole in the outer extrusion wall and sit down on the rivet head. This in turn means it is impossible to pull the rivet as the head isn't pushing against anything when you pull the gun lever.
How have people overcome this?
I was thinking either a different gun / tip or, maybe make a bush that does pass through the hole and takes up the slack. it would only need to be 4-5mm tall.
Ideas?
