My side rockers from ACS showed up today - was excited to get started on the install, but have run into a delay. Unlike their instructions online which said it came with U-Nuts and mounting screws, it came with large flange rivets instead.

They are 3/16" rivets (see picture below). Anyone have a recommendation for the correct/best tool to use to install these? Any online links to the proper tool would be appreciated!!

I don't have any experience with rivets, but I'm thinking that can't be that hard to install, right?

I know some have suggested that 3M adhesive will also work, but would pref to go with the bolt-on method.

Pop rivet tool. You can pick one up at any hardware or auto parts store.

Thanks for the input!!

Are the rivets metal or plastic?

 

[phinman]

The downside to the rivets is if for some reason you need to remove the rocker, you will have to drill them all out to remove it.
