Default 39 interior window trim felt staples?

I have vintique window felt kits for the front and quarter window on my 39 2dr sedan. It came with staples. I got out my interior window trim pieces out and I see staples holes in them. What kind of stapler can go through metal trim? No instructions, and my window felt was removed. Thanks Ron
Also, I believe I need push in felt clips for the outside felt, but not sure?

I made my own staples from wire; then put them in the original holes, then bent them over with pliers, takes a while but worked very well

The above answer is also what I did on my 40. Takes time and patience but results make it worthwhile. Use stainless wire.

Your kit should have small black screws which are easier to use than staples .

Thanks for the replies. Yes my kit came with screws also, but was not sure were they went because they are so small. Found the push in clips from Joe's antique auto. I will try the wire trick. Thanks again Ron
