I got these last summer. Quick tip for taking the old pop 

rivets out... carefully drill the pop rivet heads with a 

drill bit slightly larger than the pop rivet head. You don't 

need to go deep at all. Once you've drilled thru the head you 

should be able to remove the entire rivet.

www.gowesty.com sells them in camper parts - camper 

equipment - luggage rack. The direct link is kinda long:

Thanks,
