A rivet nut is installed into a prepared hole and secured by forming its body against the supporting material. It provides a captive mounting thread where an ordinary loose nut cannot be fitted in the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: N-909-147-01.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: blind rivet nut; also described in the catalog as a rivetted cap nut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal thread size: M10.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory specification: M10 × 1.8–5 mm.

An enlarged, cracked or damaged hole can prevent a new rivet nut from setting correctly. Replacement hardware alone cannot restore a damaged mounting structure; inspect and repair the attachment point according to the vehicle repair procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory application has a chassis cutoff, so the model year alone does not confirm compatibility.
