Seems like im only on here to get help with all the posts ive been doing! but i need somewhere that i could go and look for rivets for my window track, autozone, advanced auto, lowes, homedepot, and ace hardwear all dont have the right size. Anyone know of a place that is open tomorrow that i could get some or maybe one of you guys have some layin around that i could buy off of you!??? :confused:

the normal hand held one is to small to pull the 1/4 inch rivets

Well at lest it is done and with gas nearing $5 a gal it was cheaper to bite the bulet and just get them.
