There is an easier way than mushrooming that rivet.

Replace the rivet with a bolt, nut and a few washers. Make sure the bolt isn't so long that it hits the mechanism when moving the window up/down.

The layers should go as follows (this is from memory, so it's approximate)

Side of jaw with no hole - bolt head - side of jaw with hole - washer - window linkage - washer - nut - 2nd nut jammed against first.

I took the original rivet with me to Home Depot and bought the necessary hardware to match. Remember that the bolt should be a bit longer since it needs 2 nuts on the end of it. The head size of the new bolt is somewhat important, as too thick a head won't fit inside the sliding jaw. I think the one I used had a rounded philips head (looked like the pan head of a sheet metal screw)

If you do end up using a bolt, please post a picture. I have done this using a bolt 3 times, and people keep asking me for a picture but I never took one!

Thanks
Neal
