    pop rivets

    I removed a seized door lock actuator, though had to pop the pop rivet out.

    Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes the same OEM rivet used on the factory doors?

        should be a 1/4" rivet. Quarter inch pan head bolt and nut would also do the trick, but you'll have to cut the bolt down to size unless you can find one the right length (half inch?).

          Its a 1/4" pop rivet. It may not look absolutely bone stock, but unless you're going to examine it with more depth than 95% of the world will, nobody will know. You need a 1/4" rivet gun to pull it.
