3. Position the new glass retainers on the window reveal molding and drill 1/8" diameter rivet holes in the glass retainers.

4. Install 1/8" rivets to secure the glass retainers to the window reveal molding.

5. Install the window reveal molding as described in Section 5D of the Body Service Manual.
