It depends on how correct you want the car to be.  As Bill said you can
screw them on, or you can get some stainless steel pop rivets drill a hole
and use them to attach the clips.  The people who installed my headliner did
it in that manner for two clips.  The other alternative is body shops who
can spot weld the correct headed rivet back for you.  The shop I have my car
in now has gone back and replaced any rivets missing or installed by other
means with the correct spot welded rivets.

  Are you talking about the rivets that are welded to the body to hold the 
molding clips?  I went to the hardware store & bought small stainless steel 
screws, drilled a hole where the rivet had been, and screwed the clip back 
on.  That's what my glass guy said to do.
