I bought a set of the plastic expanding "push" rivets from 914rubber - and they're a bit of a nightmare TBH. Their pins are wayyy too tight as they come, and my install ratio keep decreasing. Pins will not turn by hand or otherwise, and mostly just end up breaking when trying to tap them in. Anyone got suggestions for working with these?

the aftermarket ones are too big, only the factory ones fit, NO ONE wants to enlarge the holes these days anyway. buy factory rivets tear off the attached peg, put the rivet in the hole, open the rivet a bit to accept the peg and then tap home with a flat body hammer
