Tour pak hinges
I am going to paint the top of my tour pak and I am probably going to take the hinges off so I don't have to mask them off, that I might do a better job on the paint. Does anybody have any ideas on putting them back on other than letting the dealer put them back on for me. I wondered if I could just use pop rivets?
thanks RB

I put the premium hinges on also. They really do look much better than stock. that said, I agree with the other posters, if you do want/need to reuse the originals, you can pop rivet them back into place. I like the suggestion of using SS rivets.

I went with the premium hinges and had my dealer do the four latch rivets after paint. Small bolts or pop rivets did not look right to me.

I switched to the premium hinge kit, I used a rotary tool to grind the rivets from the inside, because they were pretty loose, they came right out.if I would have tried to drill them it would have just spun.....
