removing gas door on 08 sierra
 
how in the heck do you get the "bolts" that hold the gas door off ????? do they need to be drilled out ? want to put on a chrome door. the instructions say us a t-30 torx , but they are just round holes in the end of the "bolts".

I believe the 08/new body style fuel door/ hinge is held on with rivets(installed prior to painting) you may want to make sure your custom fuel door is correct for your truck (the 99-07 fuel door is held on with the torx fasteners).

Not much info to be found on the fuel door in the service manual either other than this.
