Value Collection 5656 Nylon Panel Rivet Hood Insulation

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5656 is a nylon automotive panel rivet designed for use as a hood insulation retainer. This push-type fastener clips through aligned holes in sheet metal and insulation panels, expanding on the back side to hold the material in place without tools in many applications. Made from nylon, it resists moisture and minor under-hood heat exposure. Automotive service technicians and body shop professionals install these retainers when replacing or reattaching hood insulation blankets. The lightweight nylon construction keeps the fastener from corroding or scratching adjacent panels during routine service.

This rivet retainer is used in automotive and light-truck applications where hood insulation pads require secure, vibration-resistant attachment to the underside of the hood panel. It is suited to production-line repair, fleet maintenance, and general automotive service environments. Technicians typically replace these fasteners whenever hood insulation is removed for engine access or during thermal insulation replacement procedures. The part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians during hood insulation service. Align the rivet with the corresponding hole in the hood panel and insulation mat, then press firmly until the retainer seats fully. Inspect the mounting hole for damage or enlargement before installing a new retainer, as a deformed hole will not hold the fastener securely. No special tools are required for standard push-in installation, but a trim removal tool may aid extraction of old or broken retainers.
