Under cladding rivet?

I noticed there is a plastic screw/rivet messing under my left front tire well where the fender and bumper cladding over lap. I've looked on line and it seems like a straightforward process to put one in but I'm not sure if I need a special tool, if I need to put the car on a lift, etc. Was thinking of just running by a local body shop and asking them to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just go to the parts department of the dealer and they will look up the exact part.
This will likely cost less than $2 and easily installed.

Thanks, Wolfman, but the nearest MB dealer is over two hours away, trying to avoid that trip.
