Low Windshield

[SlowBoy]

Of course I need help, it's the tech section!

1. First, is there anything I should know about putting a low windshield and frame together? Or the things I should not do when putting it together?

2. Referring to the two sides of the frame: there are what look like rivets holding another pieces of metal to the frame sides. This is where the weatherstrip attaches. I need to replace that piece of metal. What I don't know is where to get those rivets (if that is what they are) or a viable substitute.

You guys from the List will probably see these questions there too.

Thanks!
