Body/Trim: - Exterior trim rivet size ?

12345 · Nov 25th, 2014, 20:58

Hi

I'm about to remove my rear bumper and need to replace 2 rivets.

Does anyone know the size of the rivets so I can order some ?

All the exterior trim rivets seem to be the same size.

Thanks

Hi I bought 3 recently, (but used them all on the wheel arch)
They are only a few pence each from the main dealer and you can buy them individually.
They are also black so blend in.
IMHO I Don't think its worth shopping around if you just want 2
Good luck

If they are a few pence I'll ring Frf in the morning.

What put me off was the £2.50 price each a dealer is selling them on eBay.

Thanks

Hi I have just checked my receipts and blind rivet part number 979878 price was 80p each.
I bet the ebay item included FREE p&P.....

£3.14 including postage !!! For one.

I think they might be making a bit of profit if they sell any of these !

Bumping an old thread, but I'm researching this just now.
These rivets are 4.8mm diameter and 22mm long, plenty of Ebay sellers selling packs of 10 for a couple of quid in both ally and steel.
