Soft Top Repair

Post by jrcotner »

I need to replace some of the damaged leather tabs on my soft top. What is the best tool and/or technique to remove the the old rivets?
Thanks,

I have used a Dremel to remove one side of the rivets to get the straps off. Most leather supply stores sell rivets that work great for reinstall.
