Default Question on 1970 door fuzzies

The door fuzzies that are on my car appear to have what looks like staples holding it to the metal strip on the top of the door panel. Is this the way this came from the factory? I want to put in new parts but putting this back to original seems to be very difficult without some kind of stapling tool.

Thanks in advance your reply.

Replacement door panels (Corvette America | Corvette Depot) come with the staples as well.

The upper inner felts were stapled...

A staple tool isn't needed. If you use the staples drill onw hole, then put one side of the staple in place and mark where the second hole falls. Once you have both holes, us a pair of pliers to bend over the staple. It takes time to do this so don't get in a hurry.
