Door/Roof seals - pop rivets or screws?



Hi,
I need some suggestions on how to fasten the door/roof seal. Yes, I 
know that you have to drill out the old pop rivets, take of the T-
panel off, and preferably have the torsion bars out when you drill.

But - is it possible to use other fasteners than new pop rivets? 

I'm already on my 2nd set of door/roof seals, (don't ask me why!) and 
I'm worried about creating a too big hole for the pop rivets in the 
door itself since I'm going to drill the pop rivets out once again. 

Also, I would like to make this a practical and easy solution, so if 
I ever have to do this again, all I have to do is unscrew the screws 
with no drilling necessary!

So, is it possible to use small stainless screws instead of poprivets 
to fasten the door/roof seals. Will they hold? 

I'm aware that this isn't the correct factory procedure and would 
alter the appearance a bit, but has anyone else tried this? 

If so, was it successfull, and what sizes did you use for the screws?

Best wishes
