Just changed the stereo in the Avensis and thought Id treat myself to some new speakers too. Only problem is the stock ones are fixed in with rivets :( Goddamn it!

Yeah thats what ppl on the Toyota forums are saying. Im likely to lose an eye and the door though!! :)
if youre worried about it..... use a bettery drill and put it on slow (screwdriver) speed...
theyll only be aluminium so should drill out pretty easy ;)
as above, drilling rivets is easier than putting them in
They use rivets because they are cheap and easy to put in, no putting your hand around the back for nuts&bolts or bothering with self tappers or threading the metal. Ive used a small grinder disk before in a dremel and done the same with a file, although that takes longer.
