I need to find a part number and source for the plastic split rivets used to hold the rear plastic panel on the B4V tail gate. Understand the same split rivet is used to hold the sedan trunk liner in place.

Here is an Ebay link to the black colored version of the part:

A check with the VW parts dept showed black only in stock.

Any assistance appreciated

Best bet will probably be to take a beige clip if you have one,go to the local home improvement store, and look for some Rust-Oleum or Krylon spray cans to match.I think Home Depot can even match the clip color,as they can mix up " sample" cans of paint ,you'd just have to brush it on instead.

Only the B4V left
I have looked for some matching paint for the tan interior and never found anything even close. I wanted to of match my gauge pod but just left it black instead. I eventually switched to an all black interior.

I think these split rivets will have to come from a wagon, the sedans use a dark grey liner that I believe uses black split rivets. Only the wagon hatch had a cover matching the interior.
