D3 Side Step Repairs156 viewsAluminium trim has been straightend out but need to remove all the old rivets from the rear of the trim.

D3 Side Step Repairs186 viewsThere are about 10 rivets to drill out. I also increased the hole size to 5.5mm as I will be using larger rivets to hold the trim back in place. 5.5mm is the larger rivet size commonly available at motor factors etc.

D3 Side Step Repairs165 viewsFinished job all I need to do now is wash it all off. I had already replaced the front door trim using new trim fixers and as you can see it was still dirty.

D3 Side Step Repairs146 viewsThe old rivet ends which I removed from the trim. I took one rubber end off the trim and let them all out by shaking it to save them rattling around inside the trim for years to come.

D3 Side Step Repairs167 viewsWhilst I held the trim in place a second person inserted the rivets from behind the step edge. We started in the middle and worked out either way to ensure a snug fit of the aluminium trim.

D3 Side Step Repairs169 viewsNearly finished - just the last two rivets to put in. We used a very basic and cheap hand rivet gun which can be bought in places like Halfords for about £10.00 and usually come with a supply of rivets to do the job.
