I just redid my passenger door including replacing the vent window 
rubber.  I couldn't find a suitably sized replacement rivet for the 
top pivot so I used a stainless steel bolt with a rounded allen 
wrench head, a wavy compression washer for between the two parts of 
the pivot joint, and one of those vibration resistant nuts with the 
nylon insert for the bottom of that pivot.  Hopefully it will stay in 
place pretty well.
