On tailgate of my 03 Silverado, there are four holes for the bed cap. I went out and bought the bed cap, and the hardware for installation. The nuts that go into the holes in the tailgate, how do I install those? It looks like they need some type of rivet tool, but no one seems to know what tool it is, if you have any ideas please let me know.

I've put them in with a bolt, nut and a piece of steel with the proper size hole in it. Place the insert in the hole and put the piece of flat steel with the hole in it on top, then thread a nut onto the bolt then thread the bolt through the steel and into the insert. Hold the flat steel so that it does not turn and then tighten the nut, works great.
I wouldn't want to put in a lot of them this way but you only need to do 4.
