    Urgent help needed please - tonneau clip installation

    Help please.
    I just received a rare spares tonneau clip kit and cant get the black rivet things in.
    Iv'e tried a bit of grease and tried hitting them as hard as I dare to.

    Is there a trick to getting them in?
    They are really tight.

    Thanks in advance,
    Cameron.
    Nah, I'm just driving around looking for someone with licence.

    Try leaving the hooks in the sun for a bit, but not the rivets. They usually do need a pretty good whack. Maybe make a wooden dolly that you can get someone else to hold behind the panel while you whack them in.

    All good, I had to resort to putting the clips into hot water and giving them quite a hit but they're fitted now.
    Thanks for the advice.
