Plastic pop rivets secure the air inlet screen below the windshield. Is there a special tool or can these be released with a flat screwdriver. I want to not damage these fasteners.

TIA, Gary

Pop rivets only come out one way, you use a punch an drive the inner portion out, then it pulls out.

those can be released with a flathead screwdriver, never seen a special tool for them.

the center of them pulls out, and releases the fastener.

but as cannibal said, thats how normal pop rivets work, the ones your talking about not pop rivits, but i don't know what they are called?

You might find this at an auto paint/trim supply store, Eastwood Company or make one.

end cutting pliers should work.

Snap on makes pliers that are made to slip under the inner portion and pull it up to release it. The mechanic I work with has one. Flat screwdriver and dykes work as good as anything I've tried. Don't worry about damaging them you can get cheap replacements at most dealers.
