How do you remove and install the felt trim on the 73 upper door panels?

The felt strips on this upper door panel looks like they're stapled through the vinyl covering and I can't see how to remove them. I've got a new window felt sealing kit and I'd like to replace it. They don't look like standard staples either. Do I have to take it to the trim shop just to install this?

bend the staples ends and remove.

Repro felts I got from YO are just attached with selftapping screws already available with the felt kit, I made the job by myself. But if you want to get them stapled like originals, yes, take them to the trim shop

I got my kit at Year One and I think it was $79 for the full kit. It's close by to me so I went to pick it up so it saved me on shipping. It does not come with the brushes on the top inside of the door.

YO sells 3 kits
4 pieces ( outer ones )
8 pieces ( outer and inner ones )
10 pieces ( outer and inner ones INCLUDING sail panel section )

the set I got came with selftapping screws to replace original stapless. The outer door pieces holes doesn't match with door fasteners so you will need redrill them.
