In most of the trim holes I just used the button head allen screw with a stainless washer and a nylon washer, and then on the inside (for example inside the door or fender panels) I just used a nylock nut. (so just the 10-24 x 1/2" screw and nut, no nutsert or rivnut is required on those holes).
So to say it again and another way you only need what I will call aluminum nutserts for the blind trim holes like in the tailgate or the very front two holes on each door, or any other holes that are hard to get to the back of.
Or another example where you might use a nutsert is if you don't want to remove your fender liners to get to the two or three trim holes in the part of the front fender panel that is behind (toward the back of) each front wheel.
Hope that makes sense I'm trying my best to explain and I agree it is tough to imagine without a photo. I think if you have a supply of those button head allen screws and SS washers and nylok nuts on hand and just start taking off your trim you will see what to do. Basically just plug up the trim holes with button head allen screws
