OVERVIEW
Factory blind rivet for the original aerial mounting assembly
N-911-537-01 is the Genuine VW/Audi 3.2x11 blind rivet cataloged in the aerial mounting assembly for the confirmed R8 configuration below. Its body and pull mandrel are designed for the assigned riveted attachment.
A blind rivet is installed by setting the rivet body with the correct tool. Unlike a reusable screw, a removed or incorrectly set rivet must be replaced, and its diameter, length and joint requirements must match the factory repair specification.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-911-537-01.
- Factory specification: 3.2 × 11 blind rivet.
- Design: rivet body with head and pull mandrel.
- Quantity supplied: one individual blind rivet.
This listing supplies one individual rivet. Antenna, mounting support, wiring and other attachment parts are separate. The nominal rivet size does not identify an approved substitute for every similarly sized rivet on the vehicle.
Common reasons to replace
- The original rivet is drilled out during component service.
- The rivet is loose or damaged.
- The original attachment rivet is missing.
- An incorrectly set or unsuitable rivet was fitted during an earlier repair.
Inspect the mounting support and hole before installing a new rivet. Enlarged holes, cracked brackets or damaged mounting surfaces require the prescribed repair rather than simply installing another rivet.
Vehicle fitment
The confirmed application is the assigned aerial mounting rivet position with PR A8U. Match the original mounting diagram and rivet specification; vehicle fitment does not establish a general structural repair application.

Installation guidance
Follow the vehicle-specific aerial mounting procedure and use the specified rivet-setting tool. Protect nearby wiring and trim when removing an old rivet, control drilling debris and seat the mounting components correctly before setting the replacement.
Check that the rivet is properly set and that the antenna/support attachment is secure. Remove loose mandrel pieces and drilling debris and verify any disturbed wiring connections and relevant system operation.
