[urq] Rear Valance Wheelwell Screws

Thanks very much for the reply.  I googled "rivet nuts" and, as you suggest, 
this is what they are.  I hadn't come across these before - another tool 
will add to the collection!

I've never seen the factory parts prior to installation, but I would
guess that they are rivet nuts.
I replaced the ones on my car with generic stainless steel rivet nuts.
A rivet nut tool is used to install them.  It is much like a standard
rivet tool.
