When installing new front window channels in the door there is a single brass rivet at the top of each channel. How are owners clinching this rivet? I can find clinching tools but the cost is just not realistic when there are only two of these rivets per truck.
I've tried the methods I've seen mentioned. Vise grips and C-clamps give a poor finish and don't clinch the rivet properly. I can't seem to find anything via the search that covers this. Below is the rivet in question...
