Install your Square Body vent window rivets like a pro with this precision engineered 1973-87 Square Body Chevy & GMC Truck Vent Window Hinge Pivot Rivet Flare Tool. Designed by USA1 Industries specifically for vent window assembly, this tool ensures clean, factory style rivet installation with no hammering, no distortion, and no damage to your vent frames.
Commonly known as a flaring press, this specialty tool works by resting the flat base against the rivet head while the adjustable bevel screw compresses the rivet for a perfect, uniform flare. It’s the ideal tool for installing the pivot rivet, but it can also be used for vent frame support rivets, latch brackets, and division bar rivets, making it an essential part of any Square Body vent window rebuild.
Crafted for precision and ease of use, this tool allows you to achieve a professional grade finish right in your own shop. Whether you’re restoring a single vent window or rebuilding several, it guarantees consistency, control, and a clean OEM appearance.
