I want to replace the black plastic sill plates with a pair of aluminium plates, which I have on hand.
What is the best way of removing the plastic round headed rivets that hold the current sill plates in place, without damaging the plates? Drilling them out looks tricky. I'd rather not rivet the metal plates, and want to use small self tapping round head screws (I'm not concerned about originality). Is there any practical disadvantage to doing this? Thanks for any advice! |

Hi JJ, easiest to push the pin through, then the rivet will come out. You could probally pull the pin up if you patient and want to save them. Porsche no longer makes the correct white you'll need for the sill plates, only clear. If you click down by my signature you can see what's involved in installing the ones I have for sale. Much much cheaper than what Porsche will charge. I'm waiting on a quote to have the OEM size duplicated exactly. Let me know if you need any.
