    VIN Plate rivets on dash?

    Doing a dash swap, and I need some fasteners to swap over the vin plate. When I pried mine from the old dash they were so sun baked they literally crumbled. Any ideas where I can get something either from BMW or similar? Anyone have some on an old cracked dash that they don't need?\\

    Thanks!

    You could try a junkyard, but it might be a challenge to remove the parts with the windshield in the car still..

    You can check the local NAPA...they carry crazy amounts of fasteners.

    A last resort, could be some pop rivets....
    They do that on Audis.
