The other solution would be to snug up the rivet. Put another way, rivet the rivet again with a bit of gentle hammering while keeping the head of the rivet on an anvil of some sort. This method plugs up the hole that would otherwise be empty. Not sure if that means anything.
Yup got it and then I don't have to worry about an empty hole in the fender. This will be plan B in the event the silicone doesn't hold for whatever reason.
