FAQs
What vehicles are these rivets compatible with?
These rivets are designed for VW Group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT) and specifically replace OEM part number N0385012.
What are the exact dimensions of the rivet?
The rivet has a head diameter of 10 mm, a total length of 12 mm, and is designed to fit into a hole size of 64 mm.
How many rivets are included in the set?
The set contains 50 pieces of Connect Drive Rivets.
Can these be used on non-VAG Group vehicles?
While the dimensions might coincidentally match some other applications, they are specifically manufactured and intended as a replacement for VAG Group OEM N0385012. Using them on other vehicles may not provide a secure or correct fit.
What material are the rivets made from?
Typically, these types of automotive drive rivets are made from durable plastic or nylon, offering a balance of strength and flexibility.
How do I install these rivets?
Installation is usually a push-fit operation. Align the rivet with the hole and push firmly until it locks into place.
What does 'VAG Group OEM N0385012' mean?
VAG Group refers to the Volkswagen Auto Group. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and N0385012 is the specific part number assigned by the manufacturer for this type of rivet.
Troubleshooting
Rivet does not fit the hole.
Verify the hole size is exactly 64 mm and that the rivet's dimensions (10 mm head, 12 mm length) are correct for your application. Ensure you are using the correct VAG Group OEM replacement part number.
Rivet is difficult to install.
Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. For some types of rivets, a slight twist or wiggling motion can help. If excessive force is required, re-check compatibility and hole condition.
Rivet does not secure the panel firmly.
Check that the rivet has fully engaged. If it's a push-pin type, ensure the pin is fully depressed or locked. The hole might be worn or damaged; consider alternative fastening if the hole integrity is compromised.
Rivet broke during installation.
This may indicate incompatible pressure or an obstruction. Ensure you are using appropriate installation force. Replace the broken rivet with a new one from the set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed to replace VAG Group OEM part number N0385012. Verify that your vehicle (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT) uses this specific part number for the component you are servicing. The rivet requires a hole size of 64 mm and has a head diameter of 10 mm and a length of 12 mm. Ensure these dimensions match your application.
Setup: Installation is typically a push-fit operation. Align the rivet with the pre-drilled hole and apply firm, even pressure until the rivet stem snaps into place, securing the panels or components. Some applications may require a tool to depress the central pin or expand the rivet body, depending on the original design.
Care: These rivets are typically made from durable plastic or nylon and require minimal care. Keep them clean and dry. Store the unused rivets in their original packaging or a sealed container to prevent contamination and damage.
