Au-ve-co Products 17162 Nylon Push Mount Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 17162 is a nylon push mount rivet designed for securing cowl panels and front bumper assemblies in automotive applications. This fastener uses a push-to-install design that seats firmly into pre-drilled mounting holes without tools, allowing for fast, repeatable installation during panel fitment or replacement. Constructed entirely of nylon, the 17162 resists corrosion and will not scratch surrounding trim or body panels. Automotive technicians and body shop professionals install this rivet type routinely when refastening loose or damaged cowl and bumper components.

This rivet is intended for cowl and front bumper attachment points where a flush, tool-free fastener is required. It is commonly used during front-end disassembly and reassembly when performing bumper replacement, cowl panel service, or underhood access work. The push mount style is a standard fitment type across a wide range of domestic and import vehicles that use snap-in plastic panel fasteners at these locations.

Key Features

• Nylon construction resists corrosion and will not mar adjacent panels
• Push mount design installs without hand tools for fast panel assembly
• Suited for cowl panel and front bumper mounting point applications
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, minimizing added weight to panel assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style push mount rivet for cowl and front bumper panel attachment points on vehicles requiring this fastener type. Specific vehicle fitment was not provided; verify hole diameter and panel thickness against vehicle service documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive technicians during body panel or bumper service. Align the rivet stem with the mounting hole and apply firm, even pressure until the fastener seats fully and the head sits flush against the panel surface. Inspect the receiving hole for damage or enlargement before installing a new rivet, as a compromised hole will not retain the fastener securely. No special tools are required, but a trim removal tool is recommended for extraction of the existing rivet without damaging the surrounding panel.
