72 Tailgate molding - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am replacing the tailgate on my truck and found one in pretty good shape for $45. The problem is that someone welded all the trim mounting holes closed. I want to add the trim back on but don't want to drill out all the holes again. Are there clips that can be used that are glued on?

Ironically the tailgate has buttons screwed on for a snap on tonneau cover that they did not take off and weld closed. Now I will have to get those welded.
