The rear vent window on my GT6 has come loose.

The piano hinge that it swivels on in the front was attached with spot
welds
to the B pillar that have come loose.

As I do not have a spot welder (and wonder if that is REALLY the best
way to
attach this) I was thinking that drilling through the piano hinge into
the B
pillar and using self-tapping screws would be a reasonable way of
re-attaching
this.

Does anyone have any gotchas about doing this (or for that matter a
better
idea)?

Better, I don't know, but the original method of attachment was with
rivets, and that's probably as easy as anything!
