Actually, the glass floats in the frames as the body flexes and expands and
contracts with heating and cooling. I'm not too sure the rivet idea is a
good one. Be sure to use a NON-HARDENING SEALANT. I personally have no
desire to have ANY silicone based sealant anywhere near my GMC or my entire
shop for that matter. But, use what you want. Silicone will never hold
paint, and "fish eye" when on surfaces that you are painting.
