mud flap installation

[wifesbimmer]

Hi, ladies and gents.

I have been in the search of these plastic push rivets you need to install mud flaps. I need the part number for these little rivets. The rivets usually come with the OEM mud flaps. Unfortunately, the "OEM"mud flaps I purchased through Ebay did not come with any. I could simply use some alternative screws, but I would like to install them the right way. Please help.

Thanks a whole bunch in advance.

Here are the part#'s for the rivets used to install the fender flares.
If I remember correctly, they use the same rivets. You will just have to figure out which one of them you will need.

Expanding rivet 16 07147391324
Expanding rivet 16 51717002953
Expanding rivet, black 12 07147293278
Expanding rivet 12 07147391323

I found these number on REALOEM.COM, unfortunately they don't show hardware to install the mudflaps.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a whole bunch for the part number.

Since I was really eager to complete the project yesterday, I ended up driving to a local NAPA auto store and grabbed some generic 6.3mm plastic push rivets. I will snap some photos of them when I get home today for other to make a reference of. They fit and worked perfectly for the job.

It looks like the rear wheels have to come off in order to get the existing rivets off. That is going to be a weekend project.

Thanks anyway for your help.
