I am getting ready to mount the metal top section to my new OPG reproduction door panels. I separated the factory "star crimps" and now I am confused. Do I pop rivet them on, or do I drill holes in the new panels and try to re-crimp the factory crimps? Any good ideas would really help Thanks again

I was planning to pop rivet it on, and then flatten the "blind" part with a punch. I did that when I replaced the window clips on the roofrail molding channel, and it worked great.

Also, I was planning to install the lower panel and mark the position on the upper metal part. That way you are sure of a good fit.

thanks for your reply. I have the rivets waiting to go into action
