Yes was considering something like that. Or maybe some small rivets.

I couldn’t really bend the original staples with a screwdriver when I tried to remove them, so I assume they were strong enough to pierce through the steel trim piece. Curious to know if these are a special staple and what sort of stapler would be used to shoot them in. I do own an electric staple gun, but I doubt the staples I have would shoot through steel...although maybe it could.

I recently replaced the inner door glass belt seals and noticed that the outer ones were looking a bit sad.

Pulled off the chrome trim along the door glass ledge and had a look at the belt seal. It’s attached by 5 heavy duty staples. I’ve managed to remove a couple of them and will continue on...but I’m really not sure how to go about stapling the new seals on.

Can anybody shed some light on how they’ve done it?

Yes that’s right. So place the large retaining washer on the rod followed by a rubber bushing. Then poke that through the bracket hole and put the second bushing, large washer and nut on the other side of the bracket.

Glad to hear you got it sorted.

I had one fitted years ago and need another one done at some point. But the installer that did my first one is now retired.

Unfortunately most installers these days have not come across this type of thing and it doesn't take much to twist or ding the trim.

The option of putting it in before the glass is installed sounds like the way to go.

I went up to Marysville a couple of months ago and it certainly didn’t look like that. Winter is definitely coming❄️⛄️

Three girls and a Datsun. What's not to love!

Some great shots of California in that video. How things have changed

That's great news.

Time to start ordering the Maddat SR install kit.

Yes I've seen those ones advertised from Muscle Car Parts and they do look a bit chunky. Anyway glad you got it sorted.

Probably the best solution. But no doubt expensive. For some reason the left hand mirrors have always been harder to find than the right as I remember having to track one down years ago to pass a RWC. Probably the opposite is true in USA!

Great day, great grub and fantastic to see everyone again. I say lets do it all again next year!

P.S. Thanks for the joyride
