I'm going to install new glass run channel and felt glass scrapers in my '48 half ton this weekend. I need a little advice on how to install the scrapers. They look like they clip into place? There are clips in the kit I ordered.

Where do the staples go? thanks, Keenan | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | On my '38 they go through the sweep and the garnish molding to hold the sweep in place. It can be a challenge to get everything lined up & the holes in the right place but it's not impossible. It can be a character building experience.
