Not to sound rube, but I know this post is old; these snaps are a great invention and should always be replaced with new ones whenever bent. DO NOT replace one of these pins with a real screw, you will fug up big time if the moons align right. I did this to my undertall as the two snaps kept coming off. Bottomed out once and there went the undertail. Just take the bent end of your allen wench and push that center in, then pull out with your finger nail.

At least on the small plastic rivets on my bike, it's better to just push the pin in .100 (less than 1/8th inch) or you may push the pin all the way through and loose it. With tax, the rivets are close to $4 ea. If you loose the pin, you can use a #8 sheet metal screw (about .160 thread OD) 1/2" long in the rivet housing until you get a replacement. |

If you go to any autoparts store - Kragen's, Autozone, etc. - you can buy a pack of plastic rivets to meet your needs. I bought a pack of six 1/4 diameter rivets of varying lengths for about 1.00. The heads do protrude to resemble plastic screw heads, however. It may not look stock, but it is well worth the price considering that the OEMs do not hold so well. By the way, these hold tighter and, seemingly, stronger than the OEMs.

Yes. Just press in on the center part of the head of the pin. You will see the pin loosen. Then grab the pin with your fingernails and pull out. When you put the pin back in, pull the center push part of the pin head outward (this draws the molly bolt type holders in) and push the pin in by the head edges. Then pop the center pin down and your locked in place. I thought they were kind of cheap at first, but they turned out to be easy to use. ______________________________________

Just love these old posts... Little bit of useless information .. If your dealer is too far away for the push rivets... Nissan do a very similar type ..Instead of the push piece in the middle it has a little screw type piece instead.. So you dont push the centre in you screw it out instead.. ______________________________________
