1969 Door Panel Felt/chorme Upper Molding Install
I Am Trying To Install The Door Panel Felts. The Old Ones Are Stapled Through The Metal Of The Door Frame. The New Ones Did Not Come With Any Staples.
Are You Supoe To Only Use Weather Strip Adhesive To Secure These?

I would call the manufacturer of the item. Perhaps something is missing from the kit. I don't like the idea of gluing something to the panel which you may want to replace later.

Most of the reproductions I've seen are riveted to the panel . I don't think glue would hold it.
Like Jud said -I'd check w/ the supplier.

George,
If the factory look is important to you, I'd drill new holes through the felts and push staples into the original holes in the door panels. It's not too bad a job, since there are just 5 staples per side.

Alan
