bed extender

I have a 2004 Edge 4x4 and recently picked up a brand new bed extender from a guy I know....I went to the dealer and ordered the two bolts that screw into the premade holes in the bed that the extender snaps onto.....well now that I have the bolts that screw in to the bed....there are no threads in sleeves that are in the bed from the factory. Has anyone else come across this problem? I figure at this point the best thing to do is to tap them out to the threads on the parts I got from the dealer. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If it is a plastic sleeve, then the bolts should be able to thread themselves. If not maybe the plastic pulls out to reveal the threads.

Its a steel sleeve that is welded in and painted over.
