This is the trick. When I did the cover swap on mine, I was smart enough to try out the rivets on the 2 piece panel and I’m glad I did as the steel ones destroyed it. It took me another 2 days to find aluminum rivets here in Omaha, but it was the ticket. Yes... I tried them on the junk panel first also, just in case.
