Now that I've found some original windows I want to secure them with the origianl smooth airstream rivet look, but don't kow how.

Out of Doors Mart, an Airstream dealer in North Carolina, has a rivet
finisher rental program. End cost is $50 vs $250 to purchase.

While they currently show out of stock I would suggest you contact them
to find out when they will be offering more.

You can see their program at:

Their contact number is *1-866-636-2267

Yes, it would be covered by insurance but my $500 deductible is too high. Repairs are less than $500.

Thanks Colin for the referral & all the others for their input, Ryan doesn't have any newer Airstreams.
Airstream dealers are trying to charge me $200+++ for this small window! I'm just trying a cheaper route if possible....if not I'll order it!

Thanks!
