Big rivets work but no point getting new ones and install tool for most DIY.
Many small bolts/nuts have too small heads and need washers to clamp better and/or to protect the parts. Add lock washers or equiv too for some joists.
Just buy a box w/ bolt/nut of different size and washer kit too from HF Ace etc. Any leftovers can use on other things and takes next to nothing to store.
Just watch for extra threads don't hit/bind when window moves up/down.

Like said, Nut & Bolts are the way to go...I would recommend using nylon insert lock nuts to keep them from coming loose. |

Nyloc nuts are a brand name but now most common name for them.
Loctite Blue on small hardware is often = Red and Won't come off again if you need to work on whatever days to years later. Make sure you have spares before removing them.
Loctite 222 Purple made for small/weak parts but hard or impossible to find at most local stores.
