Just wanted to know how the reassembly process went with the rivets and the tool you ordered???

thanks, Kris
The 81-85 were typically 2 piece style and unique to your assembly. That one piece does not fit snug so it's no wonder you're getting some wind noise. You can not use the 73-80 either as they will be slightly different.

The 2 piece style have been hard to get a hold off but I will have some coming in a few days.
