Vent window rivets
 

I am ready to start rebuilding my vent windows and I got a kit with rivets to put in the rubber strip inside the quarter windows. I got the "rivet setting tool" as well. It looks just lika a solid rod with a nipple on the end and the rivets are not like I expected. No....shaft like you would put in a rivet gun. How do you use the tool and set these rivets....Im confused??

I souldn't tell you on the rivit toll ,I used regular rivits in my wing windows.

Put the rivit head on something solid and use tool on other end to spread it. In the places that you cannot get the tool at 90* use regular rivits. Also helps to have 4 hands.

I just did the same job and used steel pop rivets. Worked just fine.
