I'm in the middle of this process right now. Bill and Steve's (or is it
just Steve's now?) sells the OEM rivets and fiber washers. But also, the
new seals I bought from B&S are molded in such a way that you can
install them without removing the rivet. I'd recommend not punching out
the original rivet if you can avoid it, although I did since I needed to
use a buffer to polish the aluminum frame. (I'm not sure about the later
models, but on the early ones most of the vent window framework is
anodized aluminum, not chromed steel)
