OVERVIEW
This genuine blind rivet secures the assigned hood stop buffer bracket or retainer connection on the verified Touareg applications below. Its expanding rivet body and installation mandrel form a permanent fastening connection at the specified original mounting hole.
Technical details and contents
One individual rivet is supplied. The archive image shows the rivet body, bearing flange and mandrel before installation. The hood stop buffer, bracket, support panel and other rivets are separate.
Factory number: N-909-667-01 / N90966701. Brand: Genuine VW/Audi. Quantity supplied: one individual fastener.
Function and component assignment
The rivet retains the specified bracket or support retainer. Correct hole condition and a properly seated bearing flange are essential to the connection. It is not a threaded screw and cannot be removed and reused in the same way as a bolt.
Common reasons to replace
- The original rivet must be removed to service its attached bracket.
- The rivet is loose, damaged or missing.
- The mandrel or rivet body has been damaged before installation.
- Incorrect hardware was used in a previous bracket repair.
A loose hood buffer bracket can have causes beyond its rivet, including a damaged mounting surface or incorrect buffer adjustment. Inspect the complete attachment before replacing hardware. This listing supplies small individual fastening hardware and does not include any body panel.

Installation guidance
Support the attached bracket and follow the factory removal procedure. Protect nearby paint, wiring and components when removing old rivet material. Inspect the receiving hole and bracket before fitting a new rivet; an enlarged hole or cracked bracket requires separate repair. Use the specified blind-rivet installation tool and confirm the flange is properly seated after setting.
Follow the current factory instructions for the exact vehicle and connection, including required hardware renewal and final assembly checks. Proper preparation and alignment are necessary before securing the component.
