BrownBehr Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi peoples,Have researched it but dont understand entirely. I was wondering would someone be able to tell me how to remove the B pillar trims from the lupo as they are a bit worn. As far as it goes I know you wind down the window but after a little fiddling with the rubber seal I cant seem to get it off. Does anyone have any pictures of which rubber seal to remove and how to remove it? This probably is a bit of a stupid question but any help is appreciated.Thanks in advance dudes.Peace.

jamiea7x Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 u just give the seal a good tug and itll come away, and now youll either have the b pillar screwed on or its riveted on, if its screws our laughing 1 minute later youll have it off if its rivets youll needd to bust out the drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Basically what he said, I've got some pics I'll upload em later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBehr Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks I read somewhere that only lupo gti's have rivets but not many people have lupo tdi's so who knows what will be under mine lol. The pictures would really help and will see if the seal can be removed tomorrow as the B pillar's are looking a bit bad now that the car has been cleaned today.

Will Cheyney Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm going to replace the b pillar trim this weekend. Mine is riveted in. I haven't drilled a rivet out before so was wondering if people with experience could talk me through how it's done. I have replacement rivers and a gun ready to attach the new trim. Thanks!

Pick a drill head relatively the same size as your rivet or slightly smaller.. Drill straight on the centre of the rivet, and take it down to about level with where the metal beneath it is, should just pull off from the other side then. Really simple to do.

The same width as the rivet or the same width as the rivet head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 The rivet head, when it's expanded (ie the rivet that's in the car, not one of the new ones you've got) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
