Can anybody give me some instructions on how to remove the rivets holding the rubrails in place. I need to replace the hydroturf at the rear of the ski and the mat is tucked underneath. Do I pry the cap off or do I need to pull the rivet from in behind?

rivets
Normally, depending on which way you are looking at them, the rivets can be "punched" out with a small (small) metal screw driver and hammer, or you can pop the caps and punch them out from the other side. Whichever is easiest for you not to do any damage. Try one each way and decide from there. Do you have a rivet gun to replace the ones you are removing??

The guy that I bought them from said he got them from a buddy back in 2013 and he just said they didnt run. I figured what the heck the trailer is worth the 400 to me. The skis are a 1998 and a 2001. Does anyone...- 28
