Eastwood sells a stud welder, and also has the trim rivets. A bit pricey if you only need to replace a few. Possibly try some local auto restoration shops that may already have a stud welder.

The "corners" of the trim (larger hole), I got those from a tool place that sells a lot of atuo tools. It is a Doorman(?) part and it said for Chrysler vehicles but I don't remember the part number. It's a spring tension clip and included the nut. When I installed mine, I used a dab of weather sealer around the stud before putting the nut on to seal against moisture. I attached a photo what they look like. As far as the studs, some people have used tiny #6(?) sheet metal screws instead of buying the tool and studs to weld on. The plastic clips slides into the channel of the trim and hooks on to the stud and are repopped. My originals were black, but the repopped ones come white. The 4 little "feet" on the edges I trimmed off because they stuck out just a hair from my black trim.
