You use a 1/8" drill bit, and drill them out. You can
replace them with a screw if you wish, but it is better to pick
up a pop rivet tool and some rivets, and rivet it back in.
        Rivets come in different sizes, and 1/8" is merely
the most common. They go up from there. If memory serves 
(always risky) the washer bottle uses 3/16" (? Shrug).

Subject: Washer Fluid Bottle
I am replacing my original washer fluid bottle on my 1976 TR6 and need some 
advice on how to remove the fasteners.  There is one screw type fastener
that 
is not a problem but the other two fasteners are a more permanent type that 
look like rivets.  I don't want to force these so can someone tell me the 
secret to removing them?
Thanks...
