can't find parts: headliner rivet/clip thing

[DaveJB]

Hey guys, I looked on Real OEM and for the life of me I can't find this. I have a 99 Z3 Coupe. Just aft of the sunroof, there are two holes for pins/clips (can't think of what they're called) that hold that section of the headiner up. I can't find these to order them for the life of me. Any help?

Thx!

Are you sure it's not #8 in this diagram? "Expanding rivet"

I'll have to look at mine, I don't remember what they look like.

[DaveJB]

Yeah, problem is that both of mine are missing and that diagram doesn't show what's used where. If you can look that would be awesome.

I believe it's #28 in Tim's link; I remember having to push the cores all the way through to the inside, then retrieving them to reuse.

Yep, Randy is correct. It's #28. I didn't even see that in the diagram, makes more sense.

Awesome guys. TYVM.
