Vent window rubber

[friscobob]

Has anyone changed out the vent window rubbers? Bitch isn't it? I see one must remove a rivet to get the window out of the frame in order to install the rubber, what sort of rivet did you use? I have steel pop rivets, but don't like the looks of them. Has anyone used anything different?

ClassicParts sells rivets and a setting tool, but they aren't stainless rivets, and the tool sucks to use (it's just a steel rod with a groove milled in the end to flare the rivet out).

In otherwords, I'm not much help.

There is a DIY for the vent windows here:

Watch this series of videos, this guy did it a little different and didn't remove the pivot rivet.
