I use a parallel pin punch and a little hammer on those.

Yeah, I just pushed it in / through with the fine screwdriver blade on
my Leatherman PST II (it was on me <g>) but my question why use 'non
reusable in that particular role on the basis you probably won't keep
the pin in the rivet nor retrieve it from the sill but not in other
places?

I guess an answer is that you wouldn't need to take the wheel trim off
that often but then you probably wouldn't with the front bumper
either?

Oh well ...
