RHR BOOST Moderating Team 5,698 Member For: 21y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: Southern Highlands NSW Posted 10/03/10 02:49 AM Share Posted 10/03/10 02:49 AM Bloody splash guard from the rear wheel arch came away from the rivit the other day. The rivit spinns but does not come out.Not the best design.Looks like the only way to get the rivet out is to take the side skirt off.

I was just hoping there was a quick fix/tool.What sh!ts me is that they uses the plastic screws everywhere else but not here Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66773-how-do-i-fix-this/#findComment-989792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BensXR6T Member 478 Member For: 16y 6m 6d Gender: Male Location: Burpengary QLD Posted 10/03/10 11:58 AM Share Posted 10/03/10 11:58 AM Use a small amount of hot glue on the side to stick the outer rim to the body, then drill it out. The hot glue will remove from the body work with a hairdryier. Just make sure you clean everything with a bit of metho before you try and glue it.Cheers,Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66773-how-do-i-fix-this/#findComment-989885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
