I reluctantly drilled these out when I put through the wires for
my third brake light.  Turned out to be no problem, and I put
new rivets in with my $5 pop rivet gun I've had for 10 years.

Stay tuned for my third brake light install procedure.  (Thanks
for the inspiration, Paul G.!)  I'll have the writeup done
sometime before the end of _this_ millenium.

Subject: Removal of snaps around rear window; drill 'em out?

In my 90 westy, I want to remove the rear passenger
side d-pillar panels immediately adjacent to the rear
window. This panel has snaps mounted onto it to hold
the mosquito net.

Do these snaps just pop off? They appear to be riveted
into the body, so maybe they need to be drilled out.
Advice or experience here?
