2010 GL450 exterior door handle repair. Need help
I'm trying to change a broken rear door handle. After removing the door panal I came across a black aluminum cover blocking the interior of the door. After I removed the T30 screws holding it in place I saw the window tracks where attatched to it with 3 rivits. Do these rivits need to be drilled out or is there a simpler way of doing this job.

I'm trying to find rivits large enough to replace the old ones. My dealership ordered the wrong ones and I'm still waiting for the parts. I will definitely give you an update on how it went as soon as I can. I'm tired of my kids fighting over the one good door.
