redo on vent windows

[bwkennedy]

I am redoing my 66 Chevy, I am now doing the vent window gaskets adn windows. when I started the vent windows they had some sort of rivet holdin them in. I drilled out the rivet to replace the gasket. Now when I am reinstalling the gasket what do I use a pop rivet is too big for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you refering to the pivot rivet or the rivets used to hold in the gasket?I just rebuild mine and i used pop rivets for the weatherstrip. You can buy the rivets that they used from the factory but you need a special tool to peen/flair out the rivet. Here is a great how-to write up that may help you.

Make sure the rubber is warm before you put them in the vent assy, it is best if you do the rebuild inside where its warm and I put mine in the oven on warm for about 5 minutes before I put them in. Then after that I did the rivets and such.
