  - Do not drill the rivet at an angle as this will cause damage to the drill and drill hole. Line up the drill and rivet, and carefully drill out the rivet head.
  - Be careful as the cut rivet will be very hot.
3. Continue drilling and push out the remaining rivet fragments.
4. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the inside of the door.
