Unhappy Window/Door Problems - Please Help!

I've noticed my window acting funny recently and figured it was another window motor gone bad. It would roll down normally, then fall a few inches, then roll the remain way down normally. Yesterday, it wouldn't go up at all. I take the door panel off today and pull the motor and and the motor seems to be fine. I then notice that the rivets holding the window framework, I guess, have come loose and messed up the composite crap that the door is made out of.

I can manually pull the window up and when I push it up enough, the rivets align with the holes they're supposed to be in. I tried putting a screw through the bottom rivet to see if it would hold the window in place... but it started messing up the composite crap.

Here are some pictures:







I don't know what to do now, besides drive it into the ocean... which is looking to be a decent option.

Fixed it. It was a pain because you have to do must of it blind, but it wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be. It seems to work fine. For future reference here are the pictures of it fixed:
