A rivet made of plastic material for securing a plate-like workpiece to a support assembly with an approximately plane surface comprises a shank having a hollow axial passage and at least two axially parallel slots open towards the free end of the shank, the shank portions formed thereby comprising at the outer sides thereof ramp-like portions projecting obliquely outwardly and downwardly, with the axial passage tapering towards the free end of the shank, a first plate-shaped flange at the other end of the shank, the flange having at its under-surface an annular relatively sharp sealing edge engaging the surface of the support assembly when the shank is inserted into an opening of the support assembly, a second plate-shaped flange upon the side of the first flange opposite to the shank and axially spaced thereform, and an expansion member having an annular sealing rib at its upper end, the annular sealing rib being sealingly engaged with the axial passage, when the expansion member is driven into the passage.
