If you know what a set tool is. Im attaching a pic. You put the set on inside nozzle and use the set tool to pop out the rivets. When you put rivets on use the ones you took off original bumper. Just slide it on and when it's in right position use channel locks or a compression tool to mushroom the rivet back on.

Im going to disagree. He said there in bad shape. You do realize heating them up to take them off gives the rubber more likely hood to tear. The way I meantioned doesn't tear anything. I didn't say cut the rivets u pop them out with a finish nail set.
Its easier to pop out rivets put them back on with new trim. You don't have to heat up and the rivets go back in place. You simply compress barely and rivets are back exactly like they were. If you polish the nozzle the rivets are in the way. The poster can choose what they want. Its imo easter to uninstall reinstall. You can polish nozzle easier too. Les |
