Troubleshooting

Rivet does not hold securely

Ensure the mounting hole is clean and the correct size (8.2mm). Check if the trim panel is properly aligned and not warped. Verify that the correct OEM part number is being used.

Apply steady, even pressure. If resistance is met, check for obstructions or ensure the correct hole size. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the nylon.
