I installed my undertail and saved the friggin' rivets like the directions said, right? But they are not wanting to be reused. The undertail lined up beautifully, but the rivets won't hold, pop out, et cetera...what did you guys do? Any help?

Thanks!

Brotha! Where you been hiding? Wassa matta U? Do the rivets seat properly? Just hold them and push through. It could be that the holes in the undertail are too bgi and don't hold the rivets....
PICS would help!

Ok dude, heres what I did and suggest you doing as well. Take you butt down to  Lowes and get a couple of expandable nuts and matching bolts to replace those cheezy azz rivets. You will need to widen the holes on the undertail just a little with a drill to get them to fit. Make sure its a snugg fit and not sloppy like your drawz (underwear).

Or you can go to the dealership and pay a arm and leg for them, there the same as the expandable nuts used on the windscreen, but cheaper.

Thank P-Diddy !

Either way will work, so pick your poison and post your results.
 
I'ma see if I can do it your way, pimpin...looks sweet fo'sho.

I'm not really trusting those plastic pushpins...'specially when the undertail seems to be putting alot of force on em.

That's what I think was happening...the undertail was putting all kinds of pressure on them. Only one seated properly and then the rest would pop back out. I was getting pretty irked, so I just put everything down and walked away.

Ya know?
