Paint and Body What are these rivets in the door for?

[AnthonyA1234]

Anyone know what these rivets are for on the door? When I feel around on the other side of the rivet I don’t feel anything that they’re holding. Seems like they’re just through the door metal and that’s it.

I’m asking because I notice for some reason I’m missing a hole on my passenger side, see the last photo. I don’t know if my body guy filled that hole or what.

If someone could let me know what these are for and if I should bother drilling a new hole and putting rivets in all the holes missing a rivet or not I’d appreciate it. Thanks

The holes are for the belt molding retainers, should be there. Pic shows a couple on the driver's side. Most replacement kits will come with screws to attach.

Those little discs are riveted to the door to hold your exterior door moldings in place.
See attached photos for examples

Ah I see, I’ll order that kit and install those after the paint job then. Thanks guys.

Video will give you a very good idea of the install. Fast forward to 1:10
