    I've been using short 1/8" pop rivets to attach the felts for years. The head of the rivet goes on the felt side and when you set it it will pull itself in below the height of the felt so it doesn't scratch the glass.

    If you can find black rivets great, but if not a touch with a black permanent marker on the head of the rivet pretty much makes them disappear.

    Picked up a rivet gun kit at Bomgars today and your right, that worked great. A little bit of black paint pen on the rivots and you can't see a thing. Thanks
