Re: Vent window repair kit?

Do not remove the pivot rivet. Instead, remove the two rivets that attach the arm to the frame that the pivot rivet sits in. Use pop rivets to reinstall it, as well as the other rivets. A pop rivet tool is dirt cheap at harbor freight. As another mentioned it does not fit in the frame to be able to install the rivets...simply use a bench grinder to buzz it down on the sides to narrow it enough to fit right in. I've done several sets this way and to is by far the easiest and most economical way to do it.
