rear-stone-guard mounting and unmounting

a rear stone guard as from hertitage parts centre:


on mine the 2 upper of the 3 pins, on the back, are broken.

the previous owner has riveted and glued it on.

in which ways could i fit it ?

maybe i could also restore the pins somehow.
but i am not so happy about this pin technique in general.
has anybody of you lost some trim on the road ?

since i have not finished the body work yet, i would need to get it off at times.
therefore i thought about screwing it on somehow.
at best while keeping the surface intact.

on the opposite side of the car, there is rust creeping under it.
so there i would have to remove it.
i have to lever off the plastic pins, i guess ?

Instead of rivets you can get these plastic clip and screw things. They need to be really small ones.

I did this on my previous car.



On my current car I did it again but the clips I got were bigger so I had to drill out the holes a little.



Also if the 3 lug pins are broken and you want to be able to remove the trims easily you can stick velcro dots on the flat surfaces.
