Default 79 Door Sill Water Diverter

Could someone help me out please.
Replacing water diverter rivets in my 79 C3.
Would like to know correct size rivet to use.
Are these standard rivets or something special.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

OK I am going by memory. I think they are 3/16". That said measure the diameter of the hole. That is what you should use.

I am sorry i am not 100% sure.

YES...3/16" pop rivet...preferably an aluminum one due to the grip strength does not need to be that aggressive.
