 I posted this on a Charger web site but didn't get too many ideas yet, so I thought I'd see if any of you had any experience here. It's on my 74 Charger rear quarter window inside sweeps. They are attached to the plastic pillar panel with heavy duty staples to clear the flange on the pillar. I'll include photos. Because of the tight fit, I don't think I can use  screws or pop rivets to attach the new pieces and get around the pillar flange. I found this tool on McMaster-Carr that is a heavy duty Inward clinch stapler and uses the same size staple as the originals Mopar used.

Has anyone used this type of stapler and will it go through the new sweeps and the plastic pillar panel without shattering it. Ideas? See photos to see what I'm talking about. I do have a broken panel to try stapler/staples on.Thank you.

Can you just use an adhesive?  Maybe vinyl top glue?

Can you just staple them manually ? drill some small properly spaced holes, push the staple through and bend them over ?

That was what I was thinking would be the easiest way without an actual stapler.

That is what another Charger owner told as the way he did it. I wouldn't mind buying the stapler and the 5000 staples if I knew it would work. The original staples were difficult to remove as they were a heavy duty staple. I'll need to think about this. Thanks.

If that stapler/staples works it's cheap enough to buy?  :notsure:     I've spent a lot more on
"R&D parts" that I ended up not using.... or tools I've only uses once then shared amongst the "community"  :alan2cents:
