41 00... Setting Blind Rivet Nuts And Bolts

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW 535xi, 2010 BMW 535i, 2009 BMW 535xi, 2009 BMW 535i, and 2008 BMW 535xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Studs welded as standard are always replaced by blind rivet bolts.
Drill holes (0.2 mm larger than the outside diameter of the blind rivet nuts or blind rivet bolts).
Blind rivet nuts and studs must have a special coating for anticorrosion purposes.
Use the blind rivet nuts and bolts supplied in the case of the manual riveting tool for steel only!
It will no longer be possible to set a blind rivet nut if the drilled hole is too big. In this event, set a clip nut. This nut tightens itself automatically when screwed to the component.
Insert blind rivet nuts or bolts and TIGHTEN DOWN WITH RIVET TOOL .
Seal blind rivet nuts and blind rivet bolts with SEALANT (risk of corrosion).
