Vent window frame rivet sizes ?

I drilled all the rivets out of the vent window frame brackets on my 85 cab, had them plated and the window frame powder coated. On the PET, it only shows the rivets from the window guide (900-056-003-20-M100), however these are too small for all the frame brackets. Does anyone know what size rivets are for all the brackets that hold the frame together ?

Have you tried one?
I have a 73 Targa, but looks to be the same rivet. I recently re-chromed all the parts of the vent frame and I must say it was challenging to get it all back together.

The rivets expand as they are hammered. The head fits through the holes from the inside not the outside. Once the system is hammered with a punch it expands. When you are hammering, move the punch around a bit to move the cooper around the sides of the hole.
I fastened a screw through one hole tight with the clamp through the trim to keep everything from moving around.

These were the only connections that required rivets, the rest are bolts or screws. I'm not familiar specifically with Cabs, but the process can't be to different.
PM me if you want some further info on what I did.

Yes, I have tried one. The rivet works fine on the window guide at the top, but is not even long enough to fit through both the bracket and frame.
