Everyone needs this tool if doing any work on the doors. The factory rivets are 1/4", so the usual rivet guns cannot be used. I bought this for ~$20 from Harbor Freight and picked up an extra package of 1/4" rivets. Made it a piece of cake.

Damaged roller on the driver side. I had first greased it up and installed it into the track and realized that was a complete bone-head thing to do, since I had replacement rollers available.

This is the flush mounted handle by James Hoffman. Looks great, this pic does not do it justice. I will be touching up the chipped paint around the handle so it looks good from 20' away. Everything will come off for a paint job.

Tried to capture the right angle. When pulling up to the garage whenever the car is on the QuickJack and wheels are off, looks like a rocketship blasting off!

I did not mask and paint the Pontiac letters, but it looks close enough when up close. Think i will leave it.

The camera really picks up the very fine scuff marks left from the 2000 grit, making the wheel look much rougher than it is. Polishing will smooth all those out.

Final result after lots of scrubbing. Have some metal sealant coming that I will apply to help keep clean. Had really hoped the Griot's cleaner would do more.

The purple fluid running down really made me think it was doing something, but still took a LOT of scrubbing to get cleaned up.
