Nope, but they could be major "anchor points". If the door handles were metal, then the magnets could be anchored to the handle.
When I look at your door handles, I keep thinking of the "sign magnet" sheets (not rare-earth).
I see your point about the whole handle coming up
(duh, I shoulda been thinking of that when I replied).
Because my car is plastic-clad, I have been forced to think in different ways :
1 - I know I can remove the elliptical-shaped cover on my door handle. I think it's a metal hinge underneath (now I have to test that too!). That would remove the "bump" of the handle and leave a flush rectangular door handle in it's place.
2 - I could build a replacement cover that only has the hole. It would be a new ellipse that is bigger than the hole so that it covers it like so :
2A - I could build a cover that is the size of the door handle hole so that it is flush :
I'm not to keen on this because of my "reversibility rule". My handle is just heat-melted on (like a toy!!!!), so it would be a PITA to put back on (though I guess a good epoxy would do the trick).
Back to your window molding issue. Maybe you can do some tuft tests to see what's happening. That's cheap, and you can see through the window, so you don't need a second car to see if there are problems.
