Hello!
Sorry for the slow response. I was lost in the eternal swamp of e-mails.
To your question. It's been 3? years since I installed our top. I was thinking it came with only enough rivets for the job, no more. These are "Pop rivets", available at hardware stores, auto supplies, Harbor Freight, etc. (HF you can buy the tool with an assortment of rivets. 10% off this Independence Day weekend.) You'll need a Pop rivet tool. I'm thinking they may be 1/8" long. I don't recall them having the wider head, but it's been 3? years. (I'll look tonight if it isn't storming.) Just paint the heads black.
If you can source some of the little clips that go around the rubber at the back of the top that would be good. I had to hunt for some of mine when they popped off unexpectedly, and re-form the "teeth".
Sorry so vague. Age does that.
