I don't recall the size, but I use pop rivets when rebuilding vent windows.

I used 1/8 inch on mine. No problem.

I also used the 1/8 pop rivets. I once tried the other type where you had to hit the rivet with a metal rod tool...that was a big pain by myself and proved unsuccessful for me. The pop rivets are great for doing the job by yourself with great results.
