280Zone Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Not quite sure exactly what parts you are talking about but the interior plastic rivets have a pin in the middle that need to be pushed out. Once the pin has fallen through, you pryout the rivet body. If you are trying to remove the rear exterior tail light panels, you will need to remove the obvious rivets then remove the interior panel to get to the nuts that hold them in. Not sure what louvers you are trying to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I am assuming that this is for a first gen Z. Once the rivets are removed, you need to undo the nuts that hold on the whole tail light assembly. The lights themselves, are attached to the panel that you are trying to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights themselves, are attached to the panel that you are trying to remove. The tail lights are not attached to the pannel. Remove the rivets on the top portion of the pannel under the hatch. Remove the tag and tag light. The pannel is in 3 sections. There are clips on the body that the pannel slides in. Grab and pull, it will come off, be gentle.

mark Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Are these the plastic rivits or aluminum. Plastic, pry them up a little and grab with needle nose pliers. If aluminum, use a drill bit, probably 3/16 inch and drill them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
