Installing fender flare trim & plastic rivets on your E70, BMW X5.

This Video Shows the installation of the wheel arch or finder flare Trims found on many modern BMW X5 vehicle's. I show the install process and what tools will work to get the job done. ‪@koolfredsbimmertech5617‬

Just removed X1 bumper. Replaced the one-time use rivets with normal reusable body panel connectors on the fender flares. Way easier next time!

Hi cool

[@dragon012]

This is super helpful . Where did you get the flares from ? Any idea what the parts number is ? Many thx !

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

This car came with those finder flares. The plastic Rivits are from the dealer. They’re sold individually.

Would a regular pop-rivet gun work with the nylon rivets?

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

I don’t believe Iv’e tried that. It’s worth a shot. For plastic Rivets I’ve always used the plastic rivet tool. Harbor freight sells one that comes in a kit the looks very Much like the BMW special tool.

How to take fender flare trim off in this car?

[@koolfredsbimmertech5617]

once u get all of the plastic rivets out. you'll just have to firmly pull it off. on some of them got to put a lil muscle in there to get it off.
