Repairing press studs


Burgerbob

Recommended Posts

Hi all, apologies if this is not posted on the right place.

 

I'm hoping this is an easy fix, but being a bit of a numpty I'm not sure where great to start.

 

As per the picture, the press stud holding the boot cover has broken, leaving just a sheared pin coming out from the car body.

 

Can anyone let me know what I need to purchase, including tools, to fix this?  Is there a how to guide?

 

Many Thanks in advance!!

The press studs are pop riveted to the body.  Just drill out whats left of the old pop rivet and then fit a new one of the same diameter in its place.

 

when riveting to firbreglass i'd also suggest using peal rivets as they don't stress the firbreglass in the same way as a normal pop rivet would do.
