Do you actually use the staples to mount the fuzzy strip on the garnish molding? Is there a trick to doing this? Do you bend the fuzzy strip to fit in the offset in the garnish where the window division bar goes? (photo attached)

I just finished a set of these last week. Yes, bend the slight offset so the strips fit against the molding. I do not use staples. Rather, I use wire. Push the wire through two holes, twist it "tight" and cut off the excess. The wire buries itself nicely within the "fuzz" and is easy to install. You will need to form the repop strips to match the contour of your molding(s). Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Mike, is there some reason you can't drill holes and use the same clips like on the door?

I use new clips to install the "fuzzy" to the door. Wire to install the "fuzzy" to the moldings. Clips on the moldings would most likely interfere with the glass and ultimately scratch it.

Hi Mike, On the wire? What gauge is recommended? Thanks, KeB

Hey Ken, I use wire that is a nominal .040" in diameter. I prefer galvanized as it won't corrode. Stainless is too brittle. This diameter allows an easy installation and it buries itself well in to the "fuzzy" so as not to be seen. Mike

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?
