I did my fenderwell intake without removing the plasticy material above the wheel, and was wondering how do you guys pull out the little tabs, I tried to get one out with a flathead screwdriver, and accidentally broke one of them off with it still holding the plastic in place.....

Serious, that's what I use. The pop-up fasteners do break from old age. I went to the dealership and asked for a deal on 20 of them - got a very good discount, and replaced almost all of mine.

The replacements you see in the auto parts aisle aren't exactly the same. OEMs fit the best.

You know, I can't remember for sure, but try Advance Auto parts if you have them in your area.

I have that tool also, but I just pried them up slightly with a flat blade screwdriver, then pulled them out with a needle nose pliers.

I grab the center with pliers and pull them out, then the rivety things just pop right out.

Are these the fasteners with the "pin" in the middle, kind of looks like a plastic rivit?

Just one? I'll give it away if the shipping isn't too much. PM me your address and I'll let you know.

I've tried to find a match at NAPA and other parts places, and could not. GM uses about 50 different push-lock retainers, all different. If you find out which one NAPA stocks that is the same, please let us know. Thx.
