Has anybody come up with a fix for the quarter vent window upper hinge?
The plastic spacers have long gone and the window dosn't seal properly anymore.
I've been looking for replacement stainless steel rivets without success.

Did you try John Smidt at Mini King? If anybody has NOS factory window rivets, he would.

Not concorse, I have used small s/s bolt and nyloc nut, 4 or 5mm, adjusted properly works better than original floppy rivet :D

Thanks John and everybody else,
I will give Mini King a ring and order some. I've got 3 sets of doors that need fixing.
