Once again, I have a question...

#1 Post by dfritter » Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:25 pm

With the number of posts I'm making that end in a question mark, I'm feeling like a real noob around here!

Anyway, so I decided to take the roof off on Wednesday to pop in all the various seals and weatherstripping and stuff (good timing, eh!?) associated with the roof. I separated the roof top and the sides to do this (had to take it off singe-handedly, figured that was the only way I could do it) and I've been working on side numero uno all day, just checking rivets, bolts, and removing the rear glass and window channels. After fighting with the old rusty machine screws before realizing I'd have better luck just cutting new slots in the heads with a dremel. Anyway, now I'm curious as what the will be the best method of attaching the new ones... do I need to run down to Home Hardware and pick up some new self-tapping machine screws, or can I get away with pop rivets?

POP rivets

My rear glass has pop rivets holding it in, and I have been replacing most of my bodywork (floorboards) bolts with stainless bolts (unless they are Structural!)
