Trim pieces rivet on. Can't remember if you use stainless rivets or not. Anyone know?

the trim pieces are installed with aluminum rivets. i will be doing this in the near future myself. i've been considering using a mastic-like sealer between the aluminum trim and sheetmetal just to keep moisture away, as i've seen many cars with rust seeping out from under there.

i do recall when i installed new 1/4 gaskets a decade ago that i had a heck of a time inserting it in the groove. as i recall, it was very unpleasant.

Nov or Dec Roundel. If you don't have, drop me an e-mail and I"ll send you an electronic copy. The real trick is supporting the window while you install it so it doens't slip out of your hands and shatter on the floor...
