Riveted door handles - londondan86 - 26-01-2013

Well I managed to snap my drivers door handle off the other day when the door was frozen shut, fail I know.

The problem is they are riveted on, can I just drill the rivets off n=and replace with bolt on handles?

Cheers

I upgraded from pov spec black handles to colour coded ones off a hdi, mine were bolt on and others riveted...I bolted the colour coded ones on mine and been ok for a few years

yeh up to phase 2 and bolted on and the phase 3 are rivetted. Pain in the arse but i guess it makes it more secure!

Yea, right PITA lol. Don't see how it can be more secure, never had a problem with nuts and bolts before!!!!
