Door moulding strips rivets - ds968 - 03-07-2014

The OE door moulding strip has a small bracket at one end, bent inside the edge of the door where it opens, which is held in place with a rivet. Not sure it serves that great of a purpose ; I think it's only there in case the adhesive tape comes unglued so it prevents you from losing the strip on the highway ... ). On my other 968 I've had those moldings for over ten years without a rivet or a screw in those brackets but the adhesive tape that holds them in place never failed yet..at any spot along the way. Anyway, this week when I had my "new" 968's mouldings installed the shop drove some rivets in that bracket's hole just for safe measure. So I was thinking I should drive a couple of self-drilling sheet metal screws in tne other car's mouldings as well. The screws are 3/8 " , any chance they'll hit something inside the door edge or nothing to worry about ?
