Plastic fender rivits

I am about to throw a hitch on, I grabbed a few white BMW rivits. Do I need a rivit fun to install? Thanks

yea u need a rivit gun specifically for plastic rivits, OR u could grab some rivits that uses a screw instead of one time use. my hitch came with those reusable rivits but in black color, screwed them on and didnt bother with a rivit gun.

I used the screw in ones too. Function the same, easier to work with.

You can get a plastic rivet gun at harbor freight for $16: https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-r...ets-97757.html

...or just use thumb-rivets or screw rivets— those rivet holes in the fender aren’t picky at all.

I have a White X. Already bought the white rivits. I’m pretty OCD with all that
