I'm at a lost. I just bought 25x Nylon Expansion Rivets 1/4" hole diameter 2 -/16" length to replace the fender rivets that had fallen out. I did about 5mins of research before I bought them, but I found them on a jeep forum, so I thought I got the right ones - you tell me.



They look just like the original rivets to me. If so, how do I go about installing them?

Thank you for your help ahead of time.

Well, do you have a rivet gun?

No, but I read some reviews where I could use a couple of pliers? Does it really require the setter. It's just one fender flare that I need to add rivets to. It will definitely be the only time I would use the gun.

Factor fenders? Not the right part.

I think what you want are the Christmas tree ones or similar to this.

I ended up needing both kinds actually.....the Christmas tree ones mount the fender to the body while the others mount the wheel well guards to the fender. I just bought a river gun too.
