Default whiskers & staples

I would like to replace the wiskers on the door panels of my 64, they are stapled on, how can I duplicate the look?

I guess I wasn't clear, I'm questioning how to get the staples in and have it look correct. Do you attempt to use the old holes? Is their a tool that can be rented? Any ideas?

I have done this several times on C1's The whiskers staple to the reveal moldings instead of the door panel. I used a small 90* scribe to mark the position of the holes on the whiskers and then drilled the holes. It's a very tedious task. The last ones I did, I gave up (ran out of patience) and used small pop rivets!! :mad
