I want to remove my rockers, straighten and paint, then re-attach. Does any know where to buy the rivets? What about size and material? Can they be attached with a pop rivet tool?
Thanks, Jack |

It takes about two seconds to drill out a rivet. Just sayin' Ya, and when I look at a car that has screws holding the rocker covers, or threshold on, it is an instant signal for me. As these cars become more valuable, I think the little details like this make a difference. Just sayin' . . . . |

Given where I live, I don't buy a car that I cannot see under the rocker covers. |

It seems like the screws rust, and never fit right - counter sunk doesn't work, and if you use one with a head it's too large. I used to have screws holding mine on. I just got fed up with them. I'm probably just too hung up on originality. :-) |
