putting new seals in my vent windows...HELP Please

[6erWebb]

So I got a complete rubber kit and was like "yea gunna put all new rubber in" and pulled all the old rubber out of the vent windows, then I realized you have to put new rivets in AFTER YOU TAKE THE WHOLE THING APART. Well I started the project got the new rubbers in and Im having so much trouble with these little rivets, I cant seem to get them in. the "kit" came with a little rod to brad them over with but that seems a rather poor way of trying to do this as you cant get a hammer in the places where the rivets go.

Anyone done this task before? Pointer? Am I not using the best tool? Is there a thread on this already I overlooked when searching?

Any help is extremely appreciated.
