I’m getting ready to start the hard top restoration project. I have viewed many glassworks videos and have the AIM and ST for the car. The top itself and the headliner as well as all but one side window are in good shape. However, the weatherstripping is shot and needs replacement. I have the parts from “glassworks” including the hardware kit. The item that concerns me most is “peening” the rivets. I don’t have the pneumatic tools for that so what suggestion do you have as to what tools i can utilize to do a reasonable job?

I just put a heavy body dolly on the backside, and then used a large punch and hammer to "flatten" out the rivets.

Get a little help from somebody to hold the body dolly in place, and it makes it pretty easy to complete.
