1996 - Plastic cover inside rear driver-side wheel well - fasteners?

Inside the rear wheel well of 4th-gen F-bodies (I'm assuming it's all of them. It doesn't seem like it would be engine or model specific) there is a plastic panel that covers the area where the down-pipe goes to the gas tank from the fill location. It appears this plastic panel is held on by two fasteners of differing type. They've fallen out from my car, and thus so has the panel. I have the panel but lost the fasteners. Does anyone know the specs on them so I can replace them? (What's the chance of GM still selling these parts?)

Thanks!

They are just small Push In plastic fasteners. GM still uses them on their cars so you should b eable to get them from GM. You can also get them from any Auto Parts.

There are two fasteners: one is a plastic push pin with a phillips-type head on the center piece, and the other is a self-tapping screw with a 7mm hex head on it. Best bet for accurate fasteners would be a junkyard. Check out www.pullapart.com and see if you have one nearby. You could go pull em off yourself and probably not even pay for em. I can post a pic if you like, but it'll have to wait till I'm at a computer.
