remove rivets... how?

[Flame]

I really don't think he meant to actually remove the rivets... Im pretty sure he meant he cuts off the vinyl that covers the rivet.

Actually we use a square bit to remove them. A star bit will never fit properly, according to the trailer rep I talked to, the square bit IS the proper fit for them.

I use an 8 sided star drive bit that is actually meant for removing stripped screws, but fits perfectly.

Thankfully more trailers use VHB these days.

A dealer once told me removing rivets (screws) voids the warranty. Is this true?

I'd say if he was a Cessna or Piper dealer that would be true.

Yes, I would say that is true!

I'm sure it voids the warranty...but it's an easy risk to assume. There's not a whole lot of warranty needed to cover the side panels of a trailer.....they're not real prone to failure.
