I used a dremel to take them off without risking drilling into something important just to be safe. what I did to keep the plastic from melting was cold water right after using the dremel to be safe.

they're pop rivets and i sometimes out two back in if i know that i'm not riding in sand for a while.

with the rivets in the fenders seem stronger. less flop when being pulled on an open trailer down the freeway at mach 6.

a rivet gun and rivets are cheap so sometimes i pop them on agian.

besides rivets come in handy.
