Default RX330 Fuel Door Install - wierd screws

Hi there,

I lost fuel door for RX330 (2006), so ordered one with a Lexus dealer online thinking that I could install by my own

I get the door , got it painted to my car color.. but the screws looks weird to remove the old one, the screws are round shaped with no grip on it

Could some one help

Unfortunately those are not screws, but rivets. They can be obtained at the dealer and are larger than normal. IIRC they are 5/16".

I had to purchase a heavy duty riveter from a body shop supplier to set them in place. To remove them you have to drill them out.

Good luck with your repair

Cheers
