Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 8m 10d Posted 09/05/06 03:35 PM Share Posted 09/05/06 03:35 PM keep in mind that usally when ford pop rivet the buttons on the tub the paint is still soft, even though its baked in a oven and sprayed with a multi million dollar machine. even done properly u will sometimes notice a little mark where the button was. I had ford do mine when they installed the hard top and yeh I even sent the car back to have it fixed along with various other scratches on the hard top and after comming back from the panel beater they still didnt get em all of. meh I wanted my new car so I live with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know where else I may get them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decypher Member 8 Member For: 19y 1m 20d Location: Baldivis WA Posted 25/05/06 07:24 AM Share Posted 25/05/06 07:24 AM I did mine today.. bought the 20 plugs and a bottle of touch up paint from ford for about $60.. well worth it the back looks heaps better now the cotton reels are gone.. I couldn't get colour coded plugs, only black.. just poked some holes in a bit of cardboard and pushed the plugs in and gave them a few coats of touch up paint..easy job.. hold the reel with a pair of long nose pliers and drill the rivet out.. a few of the center of the rivets didnt fall straight out so I had to poke them through with the pliers..for $60 and half an hour of your time it's well worth it.....
