For all that may not know, El Caminos and 300 deluxes have a different type of vent window framework from coupes.

While replacing the rubber seals and re-chroming the vent window frame it was necessary to drill out the rivet that attaches the chrome vent window frame to the vent window framework. Where can I find a rivet that would make a 'good' replacement?

Paul, Mine had been replaced with screws already, so I can't help.

Question to you: How much did it cost for the re-chrome?

$35.00 ea. A little high, but you can't have ugly frames after you paint, and polish all the other trim.
