Thank you for the info.
Yes, I was incorrectly generalizing in excess!
In this case, it seems that the plastic rivets are not melted down.

However, to access the keys we need to remove the front keyboard plastic cover, and it seems to me that the only way to do it is to somehow destroy the original integrity off the machine, as it appears to be glued.

Did you try it yourself?

Normally we end up with a more or less damaged front panel that will never be the same as the original, unless you are very lucky or very skilled!
I have destroyed a couple of HP-17B and 32SII by doing this procedure.
So, I only peel of these glued front panels when I really need to access the inside components for repair.
