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 |

Were the plastic rivets used on the rocker panels? I have not seen that before. I have seen them used on the thresholds. I did see the 2 different sizes, so maybe, but it seams that these would not be ideal for the rocker panels.
Curious now. Also I have had the rivets made up for the thresholds I make as it helps to sell them. Yes they are a pain, that's why a include a few extras. If they are these plastic rivets Porsche was not inexpensive for the thresholds when available. It would be easy to have some of these made up too. If they are correct. Attached image(s) |
