Yes, a 1/8" drill will remove the rivets. Replace with stainless steel
screws available at big hardware stores and marine supply shops. The rivets
will
fall inside the header bar but there is a large hole at one end. Shake the
pieces out thru that hole.
Clean the bar as best as possible. You can use mineral spirits, kerosene,
whatever. I didn't get mine spotless because it will be covered with the new
fabric. I used 3M interior adhesive. It comes in a red tube. It is a contact
cement. That stuff sticks like glue, so make sure you get the thing lined up
right the first time! I have had no leaks in two years.
