So one of the kids car no longer has a lock function on the D door. The knob does not move. Figured I would take the door panel off and see if some plastic bit was broken.....riveted on aluminum panel. So, we ordered a new door latch....but, anyone know what diameter and depth those rivet are? Not going to drill that thing out until I have the parts and bits on hand.

I know the part#. Maybe you can find the size using it.

They are $1.90 each at the Mercedes dealer near me, may be the same at one near you.

Take some photos while your doing the work. I have a small dent I want to try and bang out in the door. I was wondering how easy it is to remove/replace the panel for access.

Came across a listing on ebay with photos.

Yeah, at only $10/ea. I am SURE they are far higher quality than those I can get a Lowes. Anyone got a lighter? I have some ten dollar bills to burn.

Thank you very much for the links, that tells me everything I need to buy the right ones.

I believe you need 8mm rivets.

I stumbled upon this website that lists dimensions. The 10.8mm head and 6.3mm holes size seems to make sense after looking at the ebay photos.

I used 1/4 in aluminum rivets for the carrier, 1/8 in for the speaker.
