You'll find some pictures of replacing the 'cats whisker'
anti-rattle strips on a 1950, 3600 in this album.

reproduction staples from the vendor did not have the correct
spacing on the legs so I made a simple punch & die to form
them from safety wire with the correct spacing as the original
staples.
I transferred the holes from the window garnish to the strip
with a 90° angled scriber then pre-drilled each hole. Taking
them one at a time without bending the staples, till they were
all drill. This assured that they all lined up before setting
the staples. I made a special pair of pliers by welding and
reshaping the jaws to bend the staples tight on the back side.
