2.2 Opening Punch Rivets By Drilling Out

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Drill out rivets with a 6 mm dia. carbide drill bit.

Punch rivets can be drilled out on both sides. When drilling from the protruding rear side, spot-drill the rivet shank only and remove the rest with a rivet punch.

Use a drift punch to remove punch rivet remnants in the aluminium (risk of corrosion).

Clean vehicle to remove chips (risk of corrosion).
