Subject:Rear hatch screen snap
From:Eric Caron <ericcaron96@COMCAST.NET>

Hi listers,

        When doing recent work in the rear of the van I managed to pop out one of the screen snaps from the van body. 

        I never liked the fact that they are riveted.  I would have prefered a removable option. 

I went to put back using a rivet and found I could not get the tool nose into the snap. 

        Is there a prefered replacement snaP that comes with a better fastener?  
        What is the prefered way to either rivet back?

        Is there a trick I’m not aware of?

Tips appreciated.
