    if very short with a flat head? if they look like a very short pin with a nail head they there used for holding body molding clip on . many times a new panle had no way to hold clips for trim molding. there were was 3 way to put the clips back on pop rivets that were made just for this job and a tip in the gun made only for this that holded rivet up. new molding use to give you very small flat head screws and ends were dip gum . or weld them back on . i called them nail heads ...one thing i never like hitting them with your tip of your fingers when wet sanding. you only had to split the tip of your fingers one or two times at full wet sanding speed to make sure you never did it more then one time. when you get good with the body gun for weld timming key on the pull pins . i would grab the side of the head with side cutters and twist them off. they only have to stick only so good to pull up the dent over time on spot welding on the pins can makes more work
