Can i replace my power window door rivets with bolts?

[Timsgmh]

Wierd question but my rivets have some play in them that hold the power window regulator to the door itself and i want to know if i can drill them out and put bolts in so there is no play at all?

i was going to do the same thing in my vx but i was advised not to. holden still sell the rivets ( for the vx any way) cheap as for around $6

I think they're either meant to have a little 'slack' or bolt heads are too big for where they are.

I don't think holden will stock vp berlina ones though or maybe they have not changed the size yet(i hope).

ah just throw bolts in it and check it out and see if it works and everything goes back together.

I installed power windows in my VS and used rivets... It doesn't seem to have any play. Just replace them with the proper size from your local hardware store..

you dont have to get them from holden, any where that sells them, i think if u replace a part replace if with the same thing, ( if u can ). because u no ts going to work right

Problem is its not working right now(power window mechanism)?It jumping around and it stutters,its jumping like a mad mexican after a chili dinner when its nearly right down and 3/4 of the way up!

my VN windows are held in by bolts. not problems yet

[Timsgmh]

Is that your mechanisms for the power windows
or the windows?

[stocky]

the mechanisms

[Timsgmh]

Did you drill them out one by one replacing them as you go or did you take the whole mechanism out and do it?

[stocky]

with it out. was when i converted to power windows

[Timsgmh]

I am trying to work out why mine is jumping around....its like its not aligned but looks to be and perhaps i need to take it to someone who has a clue what they are doing unlike me hey.
