drill it out .... i had to install new window motors in an older model traiblazer before and i had to drill out the rivets .. then u'r gonna have to find some screws to replace those rivets ... make sure when u'r doing all this .. u do it with a friend ... i made the mistake to do it by myself and it was a pain in the *** .. cuz i had to hold everything down by myself ..!

most likely you can drill them out, cause in most cases there are Auxilary screw holes for machine screws after teh rivets are drilled out...that's why thins get sold as "rebuilt"
