There  are only 
solid head rivets on the outside metal frame, which by browsing  some 
AS sites, I see requires special [& expensive] tools to  replace.



These rivets are 3/16 and are available at Airstream dreams, Inland RV, and  
probably any AIRSTREAM dealer. I had to replace 4 exterior rivets last year  
prior to starting a polish job and debated long and hard about buying the tool  
to finish the heads. I ended up replacing the rivets, cutting off the stem 
and  then hitting the head with a file. Very rough surface was left, after  
compounding with "Nuvite" polish I couldn't believe my eyes, the new rivets were  
perfect!
In your case this will leave a very shiny window frame when done and may  
encourage you to polish the whole trailer!
Good Luck
