Good afternoon,

I am looking to recover my door panels/cards.
I have the material from 914 Rubber to do so.

Searched the forums but didn't come up with anything.

Looking at the doors currently they appear to have the vinyl affixed via 3mm or 1/8" very thin staples.

So my Arrow T50 stapler is out as it will not shoot 1/8" staples.
I read that a series 71 stapler may work but I also cannot find one of those that works with less then 1/4" or 6mm staples.

What is everyone using to affix their new vinyl on their door panels?

I used the short 1/8” staples in my electric Arrow staple gun as well. You must staple it all back together by laying the door car with new upholstery on a very hard surface to be successful.

Thanks

Could you post the model of stapler and part # for the staples?
