Question How to replace Vent Window Seal?

Can anybody tell me how to replace the vent window seal?
The rubber seal is rivetted onto the assembly?
Do I just drill them out, and replace it with new rivets?
Or is there a trick do do it? Please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

Cya,
Edmond

Yes,
Drill out the rivits, there is some tricks to getting them just right.
I think that the rivits need to be a certain type and the rivit gun needs to reach into a narrow channel. There is also a centering tool for the rivits offered by some of the vendors.
If the hinge or pivot rivit is good leave it and reuse it.
I did mine a while back and just took my time.
They seal great now.
I also had a spare vent assembly to practice on.

Have fun
