Hey gang,

Sorry for the newb question, but I'm not up on rivets and how to remove them.

I've seen a YouTube video where someone drills one out, but there has to be a better way of removing those plastic rivets attaching the rear speaker grill?

All help would be greatly appreciated, trying to take on another project.

Thanks sincerely,

Only way I have ever removed a rivet is drilling out the center... I dont think the rear speaker grills are removable. If I remember correctly they were molded into that entire rear plastic piece... I could be wrong though..

 

Thanks for that...I may just have to drill? Was thinking it would possibly ruin the hole that the rivet sits in?

Grill is definitely removable though , is held by two clips opposite each other and then two plastic rivets opposite each other...just unclip the clips, take out the two rivets and the whole thing just falls forward. Have to remove the whole cross piece of course...the big plastic that holds the speaker grills..but that's very easy to do.

Thanks again, anyone else know of a different way?

Drill baby drill. Use a drill just a little bit bigger then the inside hole of the rivet.

 

Thanks Joe.

For some crazy reason now all I can hear is Michael Jackson singing "cause this is drillllleeerrrrrr....drillllerrrr night....."

Yep....that's how my brain works.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go this week.

Maybe call Wicked Cas....they might know.

 

Not a fan of Wicked Cas after my fiasco experience of getting sub par products that were chipped, deformed, differently sized, differently shaped, and took hours of my time to bring up to speed.

Personally I don't plan on dealing with them ever again, especially after being ignored completely after contacting them for customer service.

The plot thickens.
