I used the proper rivets on the vertical rubber that is at the back of the vent window (the ones you install with a punch). The reason being is that they are "visible" and I thought they looked cleaner. Everywhere else, I used 5/32" x 1/8". I did have to tweak the holes a little on the frame because they were just a little too tight but I have rebuilt 2 sets and they seem to work real well.
