Default Help...1965 convertible top snaps

What type of tool is used to set the rivet on the quarter panel snaps that hold on the top boot?

If you are talking about the snaps on the quarter trim panel, in the interior, they require a special tool the way Ford did them. For your purposes, just insert a 1/8" pop rivet from the back. The snap kits I have used come with them.
