Hello,

I'm trying to restore my 65 bug vent window, but as I take it out of the door, the frame separate from the glass trim, the rivets broke.

What kind of rivets do I need to use to fix this?

I have used pop rivets. Quick easy nobody sees it.

Those rivets are for the latch, will they also fit for the frame?

Btw, How do you use them? Do I need a special tool to cap them in place?

No. Those for pivot.

Just pick up something like this and this and you're good to go. I used these to reassemble my entire vent wing assembly.
