Default Winter project

I am thinking about replacing my window felts and door panels myself. I have the parts already and was suprised to find a bunch of staples in the bag of felts/runs. Is this job going to be difficult?

I wish the weather hadn't gotten so bad so quick here. I wasn't done having fun yet.

The window felts ("fuzzies") are attached to the inner and outer garnish moldings with staples; it's kinda tedious, but you'll have to drill holes in the new "fuzzies" to match the existing staple holes in the garnish moldings, install the new staples, and bend them over with pliers. Some guys just drill new holes and use pop-rivets, but that's pretty obvious - you can see the rivet heads.
