my window dropped towards bonnet and after takin g door panel off realised its the white plastic slider that sits in side the runner had snapped so the metal arm was not connected right..

have bought the new plastic clip which comes with the rivet already in it ...

question is how to attached it to the metal arm as the metal arm as got the old rivet attached to it

so what i thought was an easy job of putting clip in runner and pushing the arm to clip into it has gone out the window lol

any ideas how to get the old rivet out the arm and attach the arm to the new rivet which is inserted in the new clip???????????

help????

i am supprised you even managed to get the part on its own? - i have done a few of these on other cars - you need to take the regulator out drill out the old rivet from the arm making sure the drill bit is slightly smaller than the hole, fit the new one and using a centre punch and a big hammer "tap" around the centre of the rivet so it expands (and is realy tight) - make sure the other end of the rivet is square and the metal end is contacting a flat hard surface (vice etc...)while doing this.
Clean and regrease the runners then refit and realign and all shoud be ok!
