Ok so how do you remove side panels? Just drill out the rivets? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) And then how do you re-install? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Pics and advice would help! Regards, James |

because you will want to do this every year I suggest screws.
I put them back in with small stainless screws to they can easily come off again. Also, on the bottom, put 1/4 thick rubber washers between the rocker covers and the longitudinal...this keeps a space there that allows water and dirt a route to fall out. Rich |

Rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You'll want to takes these off on a yearly basis to remove the accumulated dirt and to inspect the longs. Use SS screws - they actually look pretty good.

I believe the original was a plastic "rivet".
I recently ordered an install pkg. which comes with all of the pieces you need. Screws are a great idea, I think I will go that route next time. |
