On the door handle and window motor you should be able to drill out the rivits,and either rivit them or bolt them back into place.

Hope this helps

Re: Door handle and window motor replacement????

Funny I was about to post I got my door handle from 1aauto and it was a good match :-)

When I did my door lock actuator and handle the rivets on the actuator were larger than I could do with a hand held rivet gun. I bolted mine in. It’s hard to get the nuts started. I wish they would sell replacements with nuts spot welded on the back side of the plate so it was easier to do. I thought about just taping the hole and doing that way, but it was thin enough I didn't trust it.

I don't remember if I riveted or bolted the door handle back on its been a few years.

I would imagine that the regulator uses the large rivets also.
