Guys,
I had a slight accident yesterday. I hit my bumper at a gas station and the rivets popped out. Where can I get the replacement rivets? Thanks in advance! My Sierra is a 2006 by the way. See attached pictures.....

remove one of these plastic retainers and look it up on amazon.

I removed all my inner fender plastic shields on my Toyota truck.. installed new fasteners .. did the metal rust proofing on the metal ..

measured the OEM fasteners and ordered about 50 pieces much cheaper than dealership @$4 ea..

If you're in a hurry Dorman makes replacements. Look in the HELP section at the parts stores. If the plastic seems to have taken a set or a dent slowly heat it up with a heat gun and pop the dent out. Be careful with the heat - it's easy to damage and melt it. If you haven't done this before try a hair dryer for a wider "not hot enough" and "too hot".

Thanks guys. My plastic bumper is in great shape. Just the rivets popped out. I was wondering if a local auto parts store would have them?

Yes. Again, look in the HELP section at one of the parts stores. Or ask the guy behind the counter.

like I stated before pull out the fastener and get 10 or 20 of these for 10 bucks @ amazon ..match them /measure , then do the order.. much cheaper ..

auto part store way too expensive .. check it out .

Local, or amazon, rock auto or LMC truck. They made millions of these and you can get them everywhere cheap. I keep a two pack in my glove box just in case.

4 or 5 years ago I got several packages of 10-12 fasteners to a package for $6 or $7 IIRC. Depends if you want to wait and if you have Prime or not. Much more convenient to go to the parts store.
