The closing panels that are on the truck now have the seal attached with staples through the seal and the panel.
Does anyone know a way to do the job where it will look original?
The new panels and seals have no holes and even if they did I don't have a stapler that would handle that kind of staple.
Suggestions or comments welcome, Thanks, Hobert

I installed them manually using needlenose pliers, use a hammer for final tightening,,when done looks like GM did it. brian | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 199 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 199 | Thanks Brian, I got one side done using your method and it does look like the original. I used stainless steel staples from Lowes to keep them from rusting!!! Thanks again, Hobert
