Plastic sills RRC

Having another senior moment

Need to remove the black plastic sill trims from my '87 RRC.
Do I remember correctly that you just knock the old plastic rivet centres through into the sills themselves, then use new rivets to re-fit the sills ?

Thanks guys.

Correct sir.

Yes. And hopefully you won't find any bigger rusty holes!

On a 87 rrc you jest of course .

Thanks guys .. I'll keep you posted on the subject of 'holes' once the work is done in a week or so.

Essentially the removal of the plastic is to allow the body shop to treat some surface corrosion at the bottom of the black painted wheel arch sections (visible when the rear doors are opened) then re-spray.
