Chosen Solution

I am aware of the procedure to replace a1369 keyboard. Its coming this week. What screws are needed in place of the rivets… I had actually though the keyboard would stay in place without them but maybe not…

The seller of the keyboard should be suppling you either the needed screws or rivets or both depending on what you need for your given system. If they don’t offer them look for a different seller. You need the required fasteners and you do need to put in the correct ones. Apple has three different layouts screws only (A), mixed screws & rivets (B) and lastly rivets only (C). While at first people used screws on either B or C setups to replace the rivets it was messy and the screw heads still could rub on the battery which is not too smart. As time moved on plastic rivets became available! Today the keyboard suppliers offer the needed screws and/or rivets for the given keyboard.

Yes please post link for plastic rivets for the a1369 keyboard. I have just got my keyboard and there’s nothing included. Only thing I can find is screws on eBay and that’s from China. Hoping for a UK seller for quick delivery
