Seat Back Panel Rivets

CJ_M240 · 03-03-2018, 04:40 PM

I scratched up my seat back panel pretty badly transporting some wheels and I finally got around to ordering a new panel. It seem as if the panel is held on by two blind nylon rivets at its base.
Does anyone happen to have replaced these rivets and happen to remember their size? I am probably going to have to drill them out which will render them useless.

Don't drill them out (may cause more damage) just push the centre pin in with a small pin or nail...this will allow you to pull out the main body of the pin. When re-installing the back panel make sure the top money clip is hooked in properly.
