The rivet goes in from the inside or glass side of the frame and sticks out the top. However, it isn't long enough to run through the rubber into the metal frame. Am I missing something? The shop manual doesn't mention the rivet at all. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 | Are you sure you're using the correct length rivet? They come in various sizes and lengths. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 | Can you use a probe of some type, and measure the length of the rivet hole? I would use a roll pin punch of the same diameter as the rivet hole. Then you will have your rivet size, and length. I sure hope this helps. I know how frustrating these little delays can be! | | |
