How do I put the window mech panel back on the door? Help

For the carrier you need skoda rivets (they are huge) and a lazy tong riveter (toolstation).

For the window mech onto the carrier you can just use a normal pop rivet gun from anywhere Inc Wilkinsons for 8quid Inc rivets

Yeah, didn't see an issue. Just run a bead of silicone around if your worried.

They're easy to take back off if there is an issue.

My fabia will be in the garage so doesn't bother me if it's not sealed haha

Love the rivnut solution, hate the filthy cheap roofing bolts, couldn't you have bought some nice button head M6 allen screws instead?

I could have, but i the roofers sit flush and i didn't want to waste a good screw.

Don't buy a cheap lazy tong. Mine was a £20 silver line one and it bent in half on the first rivet. Hence why I self tapped

mines worked fine, its riveted two doors without issue. 17quid from toolstation
