Tim:
There is really no structural stress on this application ie: trying to pull it apart. As long as the length is acceptable to allow sufficient "bucking" of the rivet without the washer I would not use one as they are not particularly attractive IMO. Suggest aluminum rivet as the steel or stainless rivets might compress surface of fiberglass glass too much before "popping." Might try on a sample if you can simulate application. Would prefer stainless if it can be used.
