Re: Inner fender / fender seal location

I have poked the new staples through the old holes with a pair of needle nose then bent them over. But I second using weatherstrip adhesive. your local autoparts place probably has some

I've used Loctite 37532 Black Weatherstrip Adhesive and some 3M stuff that is yellowish

I actually have a tube of both on the shelf, good call that's what I'll use.

Unfortunately, the two inner fenders don't have those holes since 1) one of them is a new repro part and 2) both have been powder coated thus sealing up any small staple holes. I'll pass on the staples and use the adhesive. Thanks for all the info.

Re: Inner fender / fender seal location

I have drilled small holes where the original staple holes were located to make using new staples much easier. (Stainless steel staples to avoid rust)
