Kurt:

While you are at it be sure to use the screws with the smaller heads. They should fit flush in the holes----I took a small deduction for the larger screws the last time my '67 was judged.

Bill,
Would you say these, then, are correct? No hijack intended.

If you would prefer a more automotive solution please view this link as an example of barrel nuts. Available from many sources. A Google search may help. They work well, are barely detectable and don't look so much like Bubba was there.

It's hard to tell from your photo.... but the screws should be pretty much flush with the top surface of the panel --- not sticking up ---

They should look like this....

You could also use internal threaded pop-rivets. The are installed the same way as a standard pop-rivet but when the rod breaks off you have standard female threads to use. You would install them below the trim and the use an appropriate size and thread phillips head screw to match the thread of the pop-rivet.

fast forward to about the halfway point
