    Door seal trim rivets?

    What size rivets are needed for the A pillar and door seal trims? And where to buy them?

    If I was you mate I'd get a few different sizes, and some rivet washers too. On mine where the screen had been done before (badly) they'd made a mess of most of the holes in the ally trim and the a-pillar itself so I had to use oversize rivets & washers to make it work

    I'd use stainless rivets too

      Ok cool, I've ordered a kit of mixed ones, think I'll stick with ali ones though as a lot easier to drill out. I need to refix one of the clips on the A pillar too as the rivet broke while I was trying to "adjust" it

      Did you renew the gasket between trim and lower edge of roof? This is where the water is getting in.

          Would aluminium rivets be ok to use?

          Refitting this same trim on my car, I have 4.3mm stainless rivets but feels like its gonna pull through the steel with the amount of force required to pop them.

          I'd get steel rivets but shops are closed at 11pm and I'm 4 beers into it.
