The rivets arent just any ordinary rivets either, you would have a hard time finding the tool to punch them in. Im another for nut and bolt. Cant remember exactly what size, just went the largest that would fit in the existing hole nicely. That was a while ago and shes still working as good as new.

I'm doing this again today to replace the regulator.
There is a thread in the holes for the rivets strangely enough!
Just bought 4 m6 20mm high tensile bolts and 8 washers, it worked fine last time and it'll work fine this time!
It's pretty easy once in there

My bad, no threads in there, but a high tensile bolt will make it's own thread through alluminium!
Hope you sort it out.

Thread the bolts thru the inside on the door so the bolt head is facing outward and nuts go on the trim side, this way there is no chance of the thread catching on the window mech.
The white runner Can be pit back on gently, no hammering required, front window channel, at the bottom there is a 10mm bolt, remove that and U can move the channel back enough the feed the white runner back in.
