Not sure what these plastic rivets are like, but on my old zx636 motorbike, I had plastic rivets that if you push the centre pin, it pops out and you retract the rivet.
I take it these are not similar?

The ones that hold the bottom of the skirt are not rivets they're a disk that clip over the  pins/rivets attached to the sill. The rivets that hold the end caps on are around 6mm. Both are available from dealer and aren't that much. If needed I have the part nos somewhere.
