why do you want to use rivets for your window motor? Just use the hardware that came with the new motor. This way if you ever have to do it again you dont have to drill out the rivets.

my window motor from AutoZone came with small screws and bolts to replace the rivets. Worked just fine.

bring your motor and regulator to me and I will delete the rivet option for you. All for free.
