Hello @Franbote 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fabulous to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about how to reaffix the tabs to your flyscreen.

In order to put the tabs back in place, I suggest using a Craftright Rivet Gun Set it comes with multiple sized rivets and odds are one of them will fit your tabs. 

If you've not used a rivet gun before, I suggest practicing on a thin piece of timber or metal to familiarize yourself with it operation. This will also give you a better idea of what rivet size you'll need.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
