✓ In stock Short 1/4" diameter window regulator rivet for GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles. This aluminum-body, steel-mandrel rivet is specifically sized for the thin panel stack of window regulator mounting brackets, where a short grip range (1/32"–9/64") is required. The steel mandrel provides the pulling force needed to set a larger-diameter rivet through regulator housings reliably. Specifications Type: Window Regulator Blind Rivet (Short) Application: Window Regulator Mounting Material: Aluminum Rivet / Steel Mandrel Rivet Diameter: 1/4" (6.4mm) Grip Range: 1/32"–9/64" Flange Diameter: 1/2" Vehicle Fitment GM — window regulator applications; verify OEM number against your existing rivet Ford — window regulator applications; verify OEM number against your existing rivet Chrysler — window regulator applications; verify OEM number against your existing rivet Cross-Reference Numbers GM/Ford/Chrysler OEM: Verify OEM number against your existing rivet before ordering SMS Part#: 16837 What is the difference between the short (16837) and long (16838) window regulator rivet? The short rivet (16837) has a grip range of 1/32"–9/64", designed for thin regulator bracket stacks. The long rivet (16838) has a grip range of 33/64"–19/32", designed for thicker panel stacks. Both share the same 1/4" diameter and 1/2" flange. Measure your total panel thickness to select the correct version. Why does this rivet use a steel mandrel? A steel mandrel provides the tensile strength needed to pull and set a larger 1/4" diameter rivet through window regulator housings. The mandrel breaks cleanly at the correct setting force, leaving the rivet body securely expanded and locked in the panel stack. How do I replace a window regulator rivet? Drill out the old rivet using a drill bit sized to the rivet diameter (1/4" / 6.4mm). Clean the hole of any burrs, align the regulator bracket, and install the new rivet using a standard rivet gun. The mandrel will pop when the rivet is fully set. Will this fit all GM, Ford, and Chrysler window regulators? This rivet fits window regulator applications across GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles where a 1/4" rivet with a 1/32"–9/64" grip range is required. Verify by measuring your existing panel stack thickness and confirming the hole diameter before ordering. What pack sizes are available? Available in packs of 50, 100, 150, and 200 to cover single-window repairs or full regulator replacement jobs.
