Removing back lower corners

I removed all the rivets in the back corner panels the belly pan I was wondering if there are some hidden rivets or something holding it in. I'm pretty sure I got all the rivets it still seems pretty firm Thanks.

Besides missing some rivets you will have to break loose the underlying Sikaflex.

I found the front and rear corner pieces of the belly pan were the last pieces of the belly pan to come off, and the first ones to go back on. Like you, I started at the rear. Have you taken off the belt line moldings around the trailer. They are there to hide the rivets into the C channel.

The flat section or banana wraps. The banana wraps often have hidden rivets you need to get to from the inside or sheer with a thin blade.

I removed one of the lower rear quarter panels a couple of months ago. David is exactly correct. You have to also remove almost all of the lower molding to expose the remaining rivets that secure the quarter panel.
