Parcel Shelf Bracket Rivets

[lightflow 59 1 Cars]

I just replaced my rear quarter panel boot/speaker trims with some new ones.

 

I found I had to drill out the rivets which hold on the parcel shelf brackets to get the old trims off. What a lovely design that is.... I have ordered some new replacement OEM rivets - they are still available - yes I'm sure a self tapper or nut and bolt will hold them but I wanted to get back to original. Anybody have any experience of fitting them - do they need a special gun to fit?

 

I will have about 16 spares if anyone wants some - I'll charge them at cost with free P&P.

If it's not too late cancel the rivets order! They are available I'm sure far cheaper than from Peugeot! eBay and search for pop rivets. Yes you will need a rivet gun (tool)

Cheers Tom - they were pretty large Rivets and un-finshed end looked like 4 splayed fingers, almost like a four way split pin. So not a standard rivet as such. I wanted to re-create that if possible.

Peel Dome Head Rivets, thanks! I may cancel the order then...

Seeing as you are having to buy 20, and knowing what Peugeot charge, personally for something no one will ever see, I'd be happy with any kind of pop rivet that will be a lot cheaper! I tend to use stainless just so they don't corrode and go furry but that's me.

Another option if there's enough space/meat in the bracket is to fit a couple of M5(?) rivnuts and convert to the earlier style screwed on parcel shelf brackets, which makes removal and refitting a doddle.
