Default Window Repair

So I am now tackling my driver side window so I can pass my inspection. I am using the AudiWorld tech article and was wondering, the article states part numbers for rivets. Question is....is this a universal number??? Is there a certain type or size? I have never had to rivet anything so I could use some helpful advice.

TIA

4.8mm X 10mm for anyone who needs to know. Couldn't find them though, bought 5mm X 12mm. they probably won't work but hey at least I can try

Well as you can see the window was repaired. What a pain in the *** though. The top two rivets on the regulator were a *****, covered with the green plastic brackets. I don't want to do that job again.

I'll admit I didn't want to have to go to Audi for the rivets. I probably should have. Not that the rivets I got didn't work, I just think the size I got from searching was WAY off. The rivets hold tight there is just a little more excess than the original had. I don't have to see them so oh well.
