1970 door outer window wipe staples

[Terry B.]

Does anyone know of a source for door outer window wipe staples. I am re-skinning my original door panels and would like to keep the wipes original using staples vs rivets.

Thanks

Hi Terry,
Re-skinninig!!!!! I'll be interested in seeing your results!
Dr. Rebuild sells staple sets for the 68-72 steel shroud seal. I'd think they'd be suitable for the door panel too.
I'd also think you could buy a length of music wire from a hobby shop, and cut and bend your own.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Best of luck with that one. The one (1) time I saw that on a car was at a Regional at Carlisle, PA. The skin sagged off the dash and door....
Make sure you use good adhesive.
