This 12-piece staple set is designed to secure window felt and engine compartment seals on 1953–1989 Chevrolet Corvette models.

Ideal for classic Corvette restorations, the set restores factory-style retention and keeps seals properly seated for long-term performance.

Instructions:
- Prepare the vehicle: park on a level surface, open the hood (if working engine compartment seals) and clean the area around the felt/seal.
- Remove old fasteners and seals: carefully pry out old staples or clips with a trim tool or screwdriver and remove any leftover fragments with pliers.
- Clean and inspect mounting surface: remove rust and adhesive residue; treat bare metal with rust inhibitor or primer if required and allow to dry.
- Position the felt or weatherstrip: align the felt/seal in its original position, ensuring proper fit along the channel or lip.
- Install staples: place a staple at the edge of the felt and seat it using a staple driver or gently tap it flush with a small hammer and punch. Space staples evenly as needed.
- Trim and finish: clip any protruding backing and recheck fitment. Ensure the seal is seated fully and that there are no gaps.
- Test the installation: close windows and hood to verify alignment and check for leaks or wind noise. Re-tighten or add staples where necessary.
