Replacing cat wiskers outsie the windows

[Spartan]

Hi guys,

I replaced my door panels, upper pads and was trying to change out the cat wiskers.  The inside ones were easy but the outside ones almost look like they are stapled in on a 69.  The don't pop out, I am just curious how anyone replaced those and how to refasten them.

Thanks in advance.

If you are talking about the ones that are stapled onto the rear upper pads themselves, some have used small rivets or screws to hold them on.

The ones that are attached to the metal body itself are held in with clips that should be already attached to the whiskers

hmmm.  I was looking at the front doors.  The wiskers on the interior side look clipped in but the opposite side of the window they look like they are stapled...Maybe I should look again at those.

They should just be clipped on. I had to pull the outside ones out with pliers, because the were very rusty!

If your looking at staples, they are on a long flat piece that has metal mounts that slide in and down to hold it in place. If they are old they will no doubt need a little coaxing to get removed. If the door panel is off you can reach up in side to feel them.
Best of luck,
Eric

didnt look at the outside ones yet. but the ones that are on the chrome trim on the door pads are stapled to my door pads. i'm replacing them now but don't know what to use to mount the new chrome trim and felt ones back on?

This is just the problem I have right now, how did you solve it?

My front door inside whiskers were separate from the upper door pad..? 
The new inside whiskers I bought (I think on EBay) included the chrome strip on top and had the staples pre-mounted and clipped on the door from the top down.  My door pads basically fit flush with the chrome trim.

The rear ones had to be screwed or riveted to the door pad - just be sure not to put any fasteners too close to the front, or they will hit the frame.

I will check my receipts if you need.

with the glass up you can reach the clips from the inside of the door....
