Marson 20-Pack 6.6mm .098-.197 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48186)

The Marson 20-Pack 6.6mm .098-.197 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48186) are precision-molded, all-nylon blind fasteners designed for applications where traditional metal rivets may not be suitable. These rivets securely join plastic to plastic, plastic to metal, and plastic to fiberglass by expanding behind the material to create a firm hold. Their non-conductive and corrosion-resistant construction makes them suitable for automotive assembly, repair, and body shop applications, including the installation of interior panels, trim pieces, and lightweight exterior components.Key Features and Benefits: Non-Conductive Material: Nylon construction does not conduct electricity, making the rivets suitable for use near vehicle wiring, sensors, and electrical components. Corrosion Resistance: The all-nylon body will not rust when exposed to moisture, humidity, or changing weather conditions. Versatile Grip Range: Accommodates material thicknesses ranging from 0.098 to 0.197 inches. Secure Klik-Lock Mechanism: Expands behind the mounting surface to create a firm connection that resists pull-out. Automotive Compatibility: Suitable for replacing compatible OEM-style fasteners used in GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and other vehicle applications.Specifications: Product Name: Marson 20-Pack 6.6mm .098-.197 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48186) Part Number: 48186 Pack Capacity: 20 rivets Rivet Diameter: 6.6mm Grip Range: 0.098 to 0.197 inches Material: Nylon Head Style: Truss head Installation Type: Blind or single-side installation Package Contents: 20 Marson 48186 Klik-Lock plastic rivetsHow to Use: Prepare the Mounting Hole: Confirm that the 6.6mm hole is clean, correctly sized, and free from debris.
