I would like to replace the quarter windows on my hardtop. The window frame has several small rivets holding the frames together. Does any one have a resource for these rivets and installation tools? Thanks Bill
 
I just use regular aluminum blind rivets from the auto parts/hardware store. 1/8" dia. short A-42 or medium A-44

Thanks Bill I thought after looking at the frames that I would need a rivet that was flush on both sides. I will give it a try.
 
The Perspex is notched at the corners which gives just enough clearance for the rivets...:cool:

I just did one before TU and one thing I found was that Ricks plastic was thicker then what was in there before - original I think. I reused the rubber channel, but had to peel one layer from inside it to get the plastic plus rubber channel to fit the aluminum channel. I only drilled out 4 rivets from the top and bottom, leaving the ones on the pointy end and the vertical bit intact.
