Kick panel vent seals
Has anyone replaced their vent seals, the foam rubber is sandwiched between the two halves of metal that make up the vent and fixed together with rivets, I've ground the rivets off and now I need some ideas on how to reassemble them together witrh the new seals.

Re: Kick panel vent seals
Pop rivets are the way to go. This is a good rainy afternoon job. Good luck with it as it should not take you very long at all.
