Default Front tire deflector came off rivet. How to fix?

On the front-left of the car, that little rubber deflector in front of the tire came off the rivet. The two screws are fine, and the hole the rivet went through isn't torn or anything, but the rubber is just free from the rivet. I tried with a screwdriver a little to try to stretch it over the rivet, but didn't have any luck. I stopped at the dealership, and they said they'd have to remove the rivet and the rubber piece, and install a whole new one. That seems like a lot of unnecessary work, but I figured you guys would know better than them! Is there a way to get it back on?
