water diverter...how to replace
So i got new water diverters for the 74. When i went to put them in i found they were rivoted in place. Is that how they were put in from the factory? If so how do i rremove them and then do i need to pop rivot them back in? Not real familiar with the whole pop rivot thing.

the ones on the windshield frame or on the door latch plate/b pillar??? They are both pop rivited, drill out the rivets and pop rivet them back in. Pop riveting is easy, I can't see how you could screw that up..just get the correct size (and don't get your fingers caught in the rivet gun, especially when you have omne of those scissor types 
they are great for mauling fingers )
