Okay, here you go..

This is just to temporarily plug all the factory trim holes against water and dirt and for about $20 for the tool and rivet nuts; then maybe $10 for the SS 10-24 x 1/2" button head allen screws.

The 10-24 tpi size is just as far as I remember - I might be wrong - it may have been 1/4-20 tpi - but those sizes come in the Harbor Freight kit too.

This works for plugging other trim holes as well - such as around taillights and in the tailgate while you gather new old stock or OEM trim parts or decide what to do.

The photos are just some I googled "rivet nuts" or "nutserts"

They make them in bronze or stainless too but the Harbor Freight one with a supply of various sizes of included aluminum rivnuts for $17 is good.

The attached photo entitled "top.jpg" shows about what the rivnut looks like installed and on the body trim side. The allen screw goes in there of course.

My ace hardware had the nylon washers to go under the button head allen screw/ss washer system to seal and protect the paint - but even if you scratch it that part of the paint will eventually be covered by the trim so maybe no biggie.

Hope that helps and good luck! - These are soft aluminum so they should be removable when needed without too much trouble.
