Re: 5kS roof chrome strip R&R

Yes, a hammer and a good sharp chisel should sheer off the rivet head. 
Then
you may want a punch to pop the rivets in with.  For a scraper, you need
something with a rather narrow head.  That's why I included screwdrivers
in the
list.  I pried from the inside and gave it plenty of time.  You may also
want to
bring along an assistant to support the long piece after you get it
mostly loose.
You'll also need a phillips screwdriver to remove the metal trim piece
between the
windows.
