Order p/n 10279471 "Plug - FR" Retail for $2.38 each.
The center tab is offset, it installs with the center tab towards the bottom. The tabs are extremely fragile. I ordered 6 recently, 2 for a colleague and four for me. This way I have an extra set handy.

Don't know about that, I just ordered them a week ago. And since I ordered six, two for my friend, we had two bags, broke one bag open to get one out for the total of six, a bag plus one separate.
Ask for a discount after they quote you the 2.38. GM Dealers will often give you a small discount if you ask! My cost was $1.78 each. I always ask and always get cost plus 15%.

Many times if you are buying from a dealer not local to your state, you just pay shipping, no taxes. In most cases, taxes are about the same as shipping. Unfortunately with the rise in the cost of fuel, shipping costs have skyrocketed. For example I just received an order from a dealer in the midwest, the cost was about $40. taxes would have been about $3. shipping was $10. even. Also unfortunately, once the price goes up like with the cost of shipping, it will never go back down even if the price of fuel comes down. Just like we will never see $40-60. barrels of oil again since they know we will pay in the $120-150. range. They test the market to see what it will bear.
So now-a-days, it is more likely cheaper to buy it local. Even if the dealer has to order it, they'll have the part in a day or two unless its urgent, but you still just pay the part cost plus tax.

If OZ is in the U.S., you might want to have a word with your dealer because that part retails for $2.38. At $5.00 a piece they more than doubled the price to you. At best deal, it should have cost you about $1.78 at worst full retail.

. I found out the next weekend when I was cleaning my baby, and the that little cover was a little less than $5 bucks by a few cents.
