NAPA or Ebay got a box of 15 off ebay for nothing about 3 months ago. And haven't priced NAPA but i know they are one of the few that can order them. I know the box i have of them is from Auveco PN#20887 that is the 2005 on jeep moulding clips.

Harbor Freight sells a kit that has the special rivit gun in it as well as assorted rivits and one of them is the correct size.

Thanks fellows,the ones audiboy86 put me on seem to be the correct ones. Needed the rectangular headed ones.

i got mine from amazon for like 15 cents a piece. u can get the rectangular ones on amazon or ebay too. the dealer charges like 5 bucks a piece for those stupid things. we tore my flares off when we were doing the lift kit and then had to get new ones.

audiboy86 had it right, auveco.com part#20887 is the current # from them,replaces 55157055-AA,55157065-AA. Works like a charm,1 fender back on just need to locate some other front fender parts,the brace things,inner liner,and it will be back in shape. Thanks all.

Are these rivits also plastic or what? Anyone know the size from this pack that fits?

yes those are plastic

the size that will "fit" will depend on how 'wallowed' out the holes are

it'll be somewhere around 3/8ths to 7/16ths

stock rivets are around 1/4-5/16ths somewhere and depending on the wear in the hole.. will pull right out

isnt the hole metal? how can plastic wallow those?

The hole in the plastic flare and or fender liner can wallow out over time making the orig. size rivets pull free with very little effort

now, if you're talking about the flare to the fender itself, totally different style of "rivet" - two different types, wide retangular block clips, and pin head V clips

in the areas where standard plastic rivets or reusable push pin rivets are used in terms of the flares, there's no metal that I can think of. They're pretty much used to attach the inner portion of the flare to the fender liner, which provides a good deal of the support for the flare
