I just got a window anti-rattler kit from Carpenters.I noticed the garnish strip has no holes for mounting.Do have to mark for the holes and how do you force the staples through?Do I have to pull the vent assembly out to install the new window channel for top of door?

I brought mine into the front room, sat on the floor while watching tv to do mine. A very sharp awl to make a hole match the metal. A pair of long nose pliers to press the staple in firmly then folding the staples over. Took some time but was well worth the effort.

Just my .02 worth.

I will have to say the clips that came with the kit to hold the fuzzy to the door are complete junk.I don't see how they could possibly hold up without giving problems later on.I put screws in just like I did the garnish molding side so everything is tight and stays that way!
