Wrangler JL plastic rivet sizes

[devicemanager]

I had my passenger side fender liner replaced under warranty a few years ago when it came undone while driving and shredded a good portion of the inner section. I just noticed that one plastic rivet was loose on the lower inner edge of that replaced liner, and a light tug broke it loose. I removed the rivet, and it appears to have a body width of 5mm, body length of 17mm, and a head size of roughly 12mm. This is apparently the incorrect rivet, and it was used in 3 other spots on the liner, and all 3 have a little play in them. The rest of the rivets are the correct sized Mopar 6506007AA which is 6.3mm width x 25mm length x 13mm head. I've seen several linking to the Rexka rivets on Amazon which are inexpensive alternatives to the ~$4 Mopar rivet. Some Jeeps use a 17mm head rivet. I don't think it really matters as long as it fits a 1/4" hole.

This is what I used on mine when installing the fender extentions.

I saw those Amazon rivets referenced that you linked to, but they have a 17mm head size. 98% of my rivets have a 13mm head. If I had those extensions, or I needed to replace all of my rivets, then I'd use the 17mm ones.

One of my fender extensions was partially ripped off by a rock, I had black zip ties handy so that’s what I used for a trail repair. Initially I had bought a variety of plastic rivets from Harbor freight to install them.
