This is very close to the pattern I used, but I did use ss rivets. Have never had a problem with the glass--just remember that when drilling the hole for the rivet, use a very sharp bit at high speed and drill the hole slightly oversize. For example, use a bit about 1/32 to 1/16th larger than the rivet size. If you can get to the rear of the rivet, and it will be hidden, it helps to use a stress washer as well--which is a small ss washer that goes on the underside to spread the load out a little.
