122 windwings 120-130 1967

Has anyone done a fix on a windwing of a 122? The rivets on the wing have some loose, and it doesn't look like an easy job to re-do the rivets; or is it? Anyone have any creative alternative ways of fixing it? Right now one wing is only attached at the bottom, and I hate using it.


Thanks a lot everyone!

Galvanized steel or brass pop rivets can be made to work.
Brake lining rivets also can be made to work.
Be careful not to rivet them too tight or the window won't work.

Check out your other wing window. There is a thick washer between the two pieces to be riveted.

Absolutely!
But if the rivet is too tight, it still won't turn easily.
