I've never heard of glass being pop rivited before. All my glass is held by removable clips.
When I first got my greenhouse there was the remains of a pane of glass that had been sealed in place with silicon.
Using welding gloves for protection, a scraper and great care ,I managed to carefully remove the broked bits and the silicon.
Sorry I can't be of more help, I hope you manage to resolve this problem.
