Since being all original is not important to me I came up with a simpler plan.
My whiskers are just a piece of hook fastener. As in ; " Hook &Loop ". Cut to length and applied. Then trimmed the top edge to get the radius look. Worked just fine and no window rattles. 3M adhesive on material holds tight. Just a thought for anyone who is not that fussy to go through all the attachment process of the stock piece.
