Sliding door window latch mechanism pulled out of door frame. It apparently was riveted in place and the window wiggle tore both attachment points out of the frame. Would like to remove from window and either get a replacement or drill out the two rivets (tried already but drill did not make any progress.) Plan is to use molly bolts to spread behind holes left from where door frame metal tore out.Any suggestions on:
- how to remove latch assembly from window to either make it easier to drill or replace, or
- how to drill out old rivets. (Look threaded on door side, but funny shape on that could have been a bolt head that is not torx or hex key. (Looks 5 sided). Dealer's body shop said it was a rivet. No longer under warranty.
Dealer and body shop said that they had never seen this problem before.
