Interior parts... Frustrating
I'm trying to reinstall the kick panels in the car. Right now just working on the drivers side. I can't get the panel to like up with the holes for the plastic pop rivets. Anyone have any tips/tricks I worked on it for an hour before I got frustrated and worked on something else.
Also, anyone have a source for new plastic interior pop rivets?

This guy has the proper textured push-clips but they are listed as gray. You could paint the heads of them, I suppose:

You have to slide it into place, it doesn't just slap on. If I'm remembering right, there are two "hooks" on the back of it that are what slide in and hold the part of the panel closest to the pedals in place. For the push clips you can try looking at parts stores or try calling Ray Crowe.

A good technique to have them not snap off is while prying move the panel itself around a little bit to try and alleviate some of that pressure, this has worked well for me for quite a few years now without breaking any interior fasteners in my project cars or ones that I'm parting out. I enjoy getting the clips out of parts cars cleanly because other people enjoy breaking them , makes for more of a selling point with the interior panel if it comes with intact clips!
