So now I need another day after next week when they anticipate the correct ones to show up. I'm so frustrated with the dealer. At least Chevy is making good on fixing the issue.
Wish me luck.

when I bought my 2000 siL new ...before winter arrived , I removed those plastic inner fenders. then I rustproofed the metal fender with a solvent based asphalt sealer.
then after it dried I intalled the inner plastic fenders with dow 795 sealer and the fasteners ...the sealer is on all the seams ...this has now 10yrs rust belt driving kept the fender with no rust ...obviously no movement to make any noise...with the plastic moving this will cause metal paint to wear then the rust...
on the inner plastic fenders after the first winter I extended these down 3 inches using rubber roofing ..this worked great as now the engine compartment is protected from the winter road slop...
with your year I'm not sure how they fabricated these fenders exactly ..
your fastener issue is very strange because these fasteners must be available to complete any body work...this if for some reason is a part problem would then make a case they stole yours to complete a vehicle that needed them..
post back how it went...
