I seem to remember some kind of plastic inserts that disintegrated into powder when I removed these moldings (photo #1) almost four years ago and maybe some screws also. The molding on the left has some window screen glued onto the small hole locations because I need to repair them with some two-part epoxy.

The holes in the interior body beneath the huge rear window are: one pair of approx. 5/16" diameter on bottom (photo #2 shows one hole) and another smaller pair holes of approx. 7/64" on the top (photo #3-hard to see because the smaller holes are in the shadows). Anyone remember what type of fasteners the factory provided in these locations? Thank you.

IIRC, they are just phillips pan head screws that hold those plastic elbows on.
 
I finally found a plastic sandwich bag which contains four tiny 1/4" long #8 Phillips headed screws (5/32") (see photo #1) and bits and pieces of a push type plastic fastener that must go in the larger four 3/16" holes/slots (see representative photo #2-not actual factory part). Large holes in the plastic are oversize to allow a little wiggle room. Thank you.
