Larry -

It was a little tricky to find in the 51-54 parts book, but looks like Gr. 30.4335, for the wing window rear weatherstrip shows the rivets - 6 of P/N 424657. That's three per side. Sound right?

If so, while there no detail provided in the application listing for 51-54, I wondered if the Utility (hardware) section 55-56 parts book might have it.

Sure enough, Gr. 50.425, for tubular rivets, shows P/N 424657 with dimensions of 3/32 x 5/32 x 5/32", in cad-plated finish (over steel). I believe rivets are usually specified by outside diameter of the tube (aka - shank, shaft) and then length of the rivet (that is, the shank only). I'm guessing that the third dimension, in this case, might be outside diameter of the rivet head.

Anywhere else you might be able to use pop-rivets or screws, but I'd be concerned about possible interference with the door side glass, which moves up and down on the opposite side of that division channel. Better to stick with tubular rivets of correct length.

A few years ago, BigKev brought up question, in his blog project blog, WRT a setting tool for the tube rivets supplied for rebuilding his Trico WSW pump, and I pointed him in the right direction with this post. Might give you some ideas, as well.
