I have cleaned and painted the frame, now I wonder what kind of tool or process to use to re-attach new weather treatment to the window? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 | I had the same issue with my 56 when I was doing the refelting. I was able to salvage a few of the 'staples' by carefully prying up each pointed end of the staple. When installing the new felt the staples pierced thru well enough then I hammered them back down. Where I couldn't reuse the staples I used rivets. Worked OK. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | My 64 had some spots on the fender seals etc. that were stapled, I used Arrow T50 staplegun staples. Installed them w/needlenose pliers into the original holes.

They must have really had a powerful staple gun at the factory. Those window frames seem pretty tough. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | The T50 staples line up real good w/the original holes, I'm guessing they used some type of air powered job.
