Re: [DML] Roof Door seal replacement.How?

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxx>]

I know that Don Steger has a method of replacing the rivits with sheet
metal screws. From what I know, he grinds off the tips so that they're
just the right length. It makes replacing the seal in the future a lot
easier.

But although he's done it before, he doesn't like doing it. I'm not sure
if it's because it's just a lot of tedious work, or if it's not a very
safe thing to do. Give him a call though and see what he thinks.
