Two Questions: Floorboard Rivets and Window Channel

[Tom L.]

Hello All:

Have two questions that have stumped me so I thought I would post them here in the hope some can point me in the right direction. I have used various searches on the forums but haven't found any previous posts on either of these two questions, so here goes:

Question #1: As part of the process of replacing the floorboards in my 1929 Model A Town Sedan, I bought the floorboard irons which came with a set of 8 rivets, 4 for each iron. I have attached a photograph of the rivets. I have never installed a rivet like this before. And after searching the net, have yet to find any helpful information. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to correctly install these rivets.

Question #2: I have successfully installed the felt window channel guides on both sides of the driver's side door. The kit I purchased from Synder's includes a rubber channel for the top. However, in researching this, I have found reference (which for the life of me I can't seem to find again) to a metal channel into which the rubber channel is placed (I presumed glued). I have attached a picture of the driver's side door and the area where I believe the metal channel should be placed.

Progress on the car is moving ahead slow but sure. It is nice not being in a rush to get this done, am really enjoying the process of restoration.

Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.

Tom L.
