I used a flat surface on the rivet head and a punch on the other side worked great..

You could PM Mike Coletta (61retro) to see what he used on mine. He installed my window channels and door fuzzies on the '61 and they are prefect...

The pieces I got from Paragon were aluminum and I did exactly the same thing......they just smashed down....

I use a small anvil that I made from an old 3/8" socket drive extension. Grind the end flat, and put it in a vise. Put the rivet in from the fuzzy side, set it on the "anvil", and peen it over with a small ballpeen hammer. A screw goes in the top (not a rivet), so that you can remove/install the rubber stop. The next one down is a flat head aluminum rivet. The third one is a screw also, and the bottom is a rivet (You can actually use a pop rivet for the bottom one. So...... It goes from the top....screw, rivet, screw, rivet. Good luck.

I used a air hammer with a flat tip and a piece of metal on the back end of it. Worked well.
