Front tire deflector came off rivet. How to fix?

That's odd. Mine has two bolts, and one rivet. Of course the camera focused on the bolts, but you should be able to tell what's going on. That's supposed to

That's supposed to be a bolt as well? Good news is I was able to get it back on. It took a little work and a small screwdriver, but I was able to stretch it back over.

I've seen these attached both ways. On my 2009, they were bolted on, but a buddy of mines were riveted on. His was a 2010 model. My sport spoiler was hardcore riveted on, but his had different, weaker rivets. Maybe it's a dealership thing?

It's weird, but I would get a new rivet and buy a cheap rivet gun from Home Depot. Probably $15 total to fix that.
