Default OEM Hardtop Ding Repair

You broke some rivets? How would one order and repair/replace them? What are they called (part #)? Did that require soldering/welding?

You rivet in the new ones but they just broke over time. Other people on the forums have similar issues.

Default OEM Hardtop Ding Repair

I got the liner off! Was never able to slide it to the proper spot to “free it”. I had to resort to carefully getting under it close to the mounting locations and pulling it clear. None of the clips (hold-down slots on roof) nor pins (glued to liner) broke or pulled away from their mounts. Mounting it is gonna be a matter of simply positioning the liner correctly and pushing the pins into the clips. (I hope!)

I’ve had no problem so far with the rivets. They seem rather formidable and, provided I don’t ask them to do something that they cannot do, using them to remount the latches should be no sweat.

Now, on to the repair! I’ll keep you posted, should you like. Your help is and will always be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cade!

Can the liner be removed with the latches in the 'closed' position? I have an issue that I am trying to resolve. Are there any videos online for removing the hard top headliner?

Thank you.
