Paint and Body Are these correct door glass rivets

[limp]

Are these the right ones to attach the glass to the mechanism??
edit: I cant get it to paste...... They are 1/4" rivets that amazon sells.. ?
Anyone have better source for these? Thanks

It's been several years since l messed with the door glass on my car but l think l recall using 1/4" bolts instead of the rivets.

I was in the auto glass business when ford changed from nuts and bolts to Rivets.... It took us a few to figure them out and we were also using bolts until we broke one or two NEW replacement DG's.. Too easy to put to much tension on the glass.... The glass tool supplies came out with the " big daddy" rivet guns and they work pretty well... I would prefer riveting them back in...
These look pretty close, for $5 I will take a chance with them...

Damn straight they are special
They need to be peel rivets
Every parts store in town should have a pack

Use a Big Daddy on those peel type rivets and your glass will survive

Is this why they are called Peel rivets?

 

[manicmechanic007]

Yes

Looks like you already have them out but it is easier if you punch the center out of those rivets before you drill

yeah, the glass was broken and I just dug them out from the bottom of the door while vacuuming the tempered glass up....
I know how to do them, I just want to make sure I get the correct rivets..

The best way to not need them again for a DIY’er is to buy a pack of the rivets and the big pop rivet tool.

Actually, @limp, you might find the tool useful for the outer door handles and possibly the power lock saddle.
