Hey Ya'll,

How does the interior door glass weatherstrip attach to the top of the door panel? This car's original door panels were thrown away by the previous owner so I don't have anything to look at. I see little pairs of holes on the new weatherstrip which are about 1/2" apart but there's no holes on the new door panel. Was it attached by small sheet metal screws?

Held on with staples
Your new beltline kit should have staples, drill bit and instuctions

After installing new staples paint them black
Thanks for the help Don.
Thanks! What I needed to know.

The weather strip set was bought by the previous owner but never installed. The installation kit didn't make it into the pile of parts I got with the car.


The drill bit was 1/8th but had a plastic stop on it so you could not go thru both sides of the panel
You clamp the w-stipe on the panel - mark the holes - then drill
The staples were very HD you push them into the drilled holes then bend with pliers
