Hello,

In order to get those rivets out, you will have to drill them.

All you want to do is to use a drill bit slightly smaller than the rivets and drill. This will break the rivets and loosen the window motor regulator.

I have attached the replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
