Removing rivets underbelly

What's the best way to remove or cut off rivets holding up the coraplast underbelly?

If it's like our 2020 3401RS they are a nail like fastener. just put a screwdriver under it and pops out. When you're done drive them back in with a hammer.

Better than driving those nails back in, get some 1/4” X 1” hex head TEK screws along with fender washers and use them to fasten the coroplast. You likely will need to access the belly area again in the future and this will make things much easier.

I got mine started with a screwdriver and finished getting them out with a claw hammer. Screws to reassemble.

You can also use a small socket on screw gun some will back out others you may to use a small pry bar to help back them out. Then reattach with what Bob said with tek screws
