Is this a real question? Do you have one stuck or something? Just use a small flathead screwdriver to pop it up and then remove by hand. Simply. Ones that are covered in dirt and have had dirt for a long time can be difficult to remove sometimes...but since our cars are new and these rivets are up high off the road, shouldn't have this problem.

Uhh yes its a real question. In the past ive broken many of these and figured maybe people have a good method of doing that. Is that so strange to ask??
