OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 4.3 × 5mm Body Repair Punch Rivet
N-912-295-02 is a small genuine punch rivet with a nominal 4.3 × 5mm specification. Audi lists this exact fastener among the required components for an assigned Q8 side-panel sub-part repair.
This listing supplies one individual rivet. It is intended for the factory joining method at a specified repair location. Correct selection depends on the repaired joint and panel arrangement, rather than the vehicle model alone.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-912-295-02.
- Factory specification: Nominal 4.3 × 5mm punch rivet; full factory number N91229502.
- Design: Short headed metal body repair fastener; supplied without a separate pull mandrel.
- Quantity supplied: one individual rivet.
Catalogs may describe this number as a pop rivet, while the factory repair procedure identifies it as a punch rivet. The pictured item does not have the long pull stem of a conventional blind rivet. Use the factory joining procedure and tooling specified for the actual repair joint.
Common reasons to replace
- A specified repair joint requires new rivets after the original fasteners are removed.
- The original rivet was drilled out or otherwise disturbed during panel repair.
- A damaged or incorrectly installed fastener must be replaced as part of the approved repair process.
- An incorrect substitute needs replacement after the required factory number and joint specification are confirmed.
A loose or damaged body joint requires assessment of the entire repair area, including the mating panels and joining surfaces. Replacing a rivet alone does not restore a cracked, distorted or incorrectly prepared panel. Check for hidden damage before selecting the repair method.
Vehicle fitment
The table identifies the documented body repair application. Match the exact factory number and the specified rivet location in the current repair instructions; this rivet is not a universal substitute for all panel attachments.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Installation guidance
Follow the factory body repair procedure for access, joint preparation, rivet placement and approved setting equipment. Confirm the prescribed rivet type and nominal size before fitting. Different fasteners can be specified at adjacent locations within the same repair.
Inspect the completed joint according to the applicable repair procedure. Any required corrosion protection, bonding materials and finishing steps must be completed separately. Do not substitute a general-purpose rivet or setting method based only on similar appearance.
