I've replaced the font wing window seals in my '68 122s. I have new rivets for the hinge. One large and two small.

The two small go into the window frame. I've drilled out the old rivets, and the new ones look like the traditional pound in type. Not a pop rivet.

If I were to pound them it, it would pound againd the glass......hmmmmm doesn't seem like the ideal situation. Is this truly the way?

Thanks in advance.

    I presume you are talking about the four rivets up the back side of the chrome frame that secures the rubber seal?

    When I did this, I opened the vent to 90 degrees out of the frame and used a old pair of pincer-style nail pullers to smash the rivets flat. I used a large pop rivet to replace the old vent pivot rivet, so I only had to deal with the 4 rivets for the new rubber seal.

    Mine are oriented with the flat part on the rubber side and the flared part in the roll-up part of the window channel.

      No. I'm talking about the two rivets that attach the hinge to the vent window frame.

      I suppose I could use a pop rivet, but it wouldn't give it a nice finished look.

        Well... I've not removed those two rivets so I don't know much about it. I'd recommend that you put the long part to be flared to the inside and use a long blunt tool or a drift to flare out the rivet. It doesn't matter much if that part comes out pretty since nobody will see it.
