Fender Flare Fix?
I have a 2010 wrangler sport and one of the little rivet things on my fender is popped out about a quarter inch. Is there any way to fix or replace the single rivet without having to replace the whole fender?

nope. whole thing needs replacing...
just kidding man
i dunno which rivet thing ur talking about, as there's several types in the fenders. there are the ones in the outer edge of the fender that hold the inner liner to the fender flare itself as well as the lil clips that hold the fender to the body and also the ones that hold the liner to the body in certain places. most likely you should be able to simply push it back in and it should hold. if not, pull the bugger out and see if you can find something similar at an auto parts store or a home improvement store. worse comes to worst you can go to the dealer, but i'd make that my last resort. good luck!

It is the one on the outside and i tried to push it back several times and it keeps popping back out. i think it popped out when i was off road and scrubbed the fender. its not extremely loose but it still just bugs me because its the only one thats like that.

I think i may just leave it. i think it bothers me so much because it happened three weeks after i got my jeep. and another thing, do you know of anything i could do to remove or hide the scratches on a hard top?
