The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors vent window assembly weatherstripping

I just took the drivers side vent assembly off of my '51 3100, and am in the process of replacing all of the rubber weatherstripping and channels. My main question is about the rivets that hold the strip to the vent side of the upright. I'm not sure which way the rivet goes in, and exactly how you set the rivet.
All advice on repairing and replacing vent windows would be appreciated!

I installed the rivets with the head toward the vent glass.

American Classic sells the rivets in a a kit with the tool:

thanks, chuckthetruck. It should be easier now. I definitely will try setting the rivets using your vice idea; I tried one with a hammer and the resuslt were a little lopsided. :rolleyes:
