the issue is that the new rivets require a setting tool similar to the one used to set the rivets on the vent window.
the window rivet is 5/16 i'm not so sure the vent window tool is big enough to do the job.
does anyone have a suggestion or "field expediant" method for setting the 5/16 window regulator rivet

Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
