I've located the radiator fan relay in my chrysler 2005 town and country but it looks like a rivet is holding it on, it isn't a screw or nut. How do i remove it.

generally speaking plastic relays are on meal retaining brackets and the relay can be slid/pulled off bracket.

I did pop it off and it was actually a rivet so, now I'll need to get a new rivet head because that one is no good now. Why didn't they just use a screw to attach it.
