Is there any way to staple the window felts to the garnish rails and window structure?? Have used pop rivets in the past but that is not correct. Did the factory predrill holes for the staples or punch holes and then staple?? Is there a tool to do this job?? Thanks

The factory had a pneumatic stapler to install the staples. Don't know of one that is available. I use wire and pliers to install window felts. It takes some patience and perseverance but you can do it. If you cut the wire duplicating the staple ends it is nearly impossible to tell they are not factory installed.

The staples used by the pneumatic staplers was actually a roll of wire. The pneumatic machines cut and installed the staples in the same procedure.
