    I was woundering, does anyone know how to replace the rivets that hold the window, roof and side trim? There's also the matter of finding new rivits and clips too. I'm confidant if I knew where to find the rivits, that I could weld them in place of the badly damaged ones. I'm open to suggestions on this one, never had to replace rivits before.

    Duck tape! Sorry, just had to say that. When you've spent so many hours scraping it off your car, you kinda have it on the brain.
