This push-type plastic rivet is a small fastening clip that secures trim, panels and lightweight components on appliances. It replaces worn or broken rivets to restore a snug fit and reduce rattles or loose trim. What it does:

• Secures interior or exterior trim, panels and access covers
• Holds wiring harnesses or insulation in place where a low-profile fastener is required
• Replaces missing or damaged rivets that cause loose panels or vibration noise
• Simple push-in design creates a firm hold without screws or adhesives

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on panels or wiring
• Push the rivet stem into the hole until it snaps; remove by prying out the center pin or using pliers
• Use the same style and size rivet as the original to ensure proper fit and retention
• Protect surrounding surfaces from tools and work deliberately to avoid damage
