Charlie, if your cats wisker is not formed on the ends then send them back a find a vendor that sells them prformed. They are (hard to) bend with out spreading the bead open, that's what holds the fabric in place.
The staples that the vendors sell are not the same width as the original ones so you have to make new ones that are the correct width. You can transfer the existing holes in the garnish to the new anti-rattle strips, that is shown in the pictures.
Most of the guys just opt for the little sheet metal screws.
