Yep
You can get a repair kit from BMW, for £28 for the whole assembly
Just this minute found them at (RIP) Bin Ridin

Bin there, dun that. Need a "short"rivet gun iirc. Mine was a bit tall and made the job difficult.
Just been looking at the selection on ebay.....
This one looks reasonable

Looks like my one, height from mandrel face to opposite end of head is the issue, but if you have one, you can make it work.
Well, got the kit, got the rivets out and at the point of re-assembly using the new bits.....
Just a question...
In the instructions when fitting the front trim
"Adhere the spacer studs in the holes with superfast adhesive"
Any reason why you need to use glue when there doesn't appear to be any originally
Is it necessary... and if so will hot glue do... as they thoughfully don't send a tube with the repair kit

Airfix adhesive would probably be okay but I wouldn't glue anything in there although I would ensure my rivetting was good. You may need a practise run to get it done correctly.
Those rivet guns are okay, I have one, but you may need to ensure you have the correct rivet size: The rivets on the ADV top box latches are a BMW sizing experiment but a local engineering suppliers found something close to what was required.
You may need to look at some fiches to find the correct sizing.

The kit I eventually got from Motorworks has the rivets included... so I assume they originated in the factory and will be the right size... the instructions are the original BMW ones in a nice little book with over 40 pages and most languages
