S70 mud guard repair

I've got a loose front mud guard on my 98 S70, and I could use some advice on repairing it. The plastic guard has torn away from two of the pop rivets that secure it. Is this something I can fix myself if I buy the right Volvo fasteners?

Other than the rivets, all you need is a drill to remove the remnants of what's there and a pop rivet tool.

Its up to you what you use, but I like to use speed nuts and metal self tapper (though it is superfluous) with a spring steel washer under the head, so I can remove it when ever with out having to drill.

Upon closer inspection, it looks as though the lower mudguard rivets hold the S70 side trim on as well. What I don't understand is how to get the interior remnants of the rivets out if I drill them out. What will keep them from rattling inside the car?

I'll look at mine and get back to you on that.

From memory there was no dramas, once I knew what to do, I,e,!
