Re: [A/S] Urgent Question Re Window Replacement
These rivets are 3/16 and are available at Airstream dreams, Inland RV, and
probably any AIRSTREAM dealer. I had to replace 4 exterior rivets last year
prior to starting a polish job and debated long and hard about buying the tool
to finish the heads. I ended up replacing the rivets, cutting off the stem
and then hitting the head with a file. Very rough surface was left, after
compounding with "Nuvite" polish I couldn't believe my eyes, the new rivets were
perfect!
In your case this will leave a very shiny window frame when done and may
encourage you to polish the whole trailer!
Good Luck
