Pivot bar pins

A quick learner from Wichita, Kansas says:
Any idea how to remove pivot bar pins? They don't have a screw, just held with these pins that are very malleable. I'm stumped.

Hello, thank you for posting,

Your pivot bar resembles the 26-377. Why the manufacturer used these rivets doesn't make sense since you sometimes need to replace a broken pivot bar. We recommend getting a trus head screw like 33-073 to replace the rivets. The rivets will need to be drilled out, being careful not to damage the frame or hit the glass.
