    I bought a garage door sill seal and cut the edges off. Then used stainless wire for the staples

    It’s welding wire. I’ve had it for like 15 years. Maybe .035?

    STAGE III Lost Experimental 455-4 Bolt Main Block.

    Been down this rabbit hole………..
    Depending on which plant your car was built at, it was either screwed on or stapled.
    It has a distinctive serrated ribbing in the center of the “flap”. That ribbing is similar to the pattern on the lug wrench sleeve.
    Had one “curing” on my dash in the sun for years (crispy stuff!) after my OCD spotted it.

    I would have thought the staples would go in the other direction?

    I was thinking of using my leftover staples from my splash shields and I ordered rubber from Amazon and made my own. Made 2 for ~$13.00

    To answer your question about the staples I don’t believe I took it off when I repainted the car back in the late 80s. E34F8E15-9BA6-4662-8E25-BCBF28580131.jpeg 98C4F341-F587-4C5E-AFC3-D6E9CA1626EF.jpeg

    On another note, has anybody found the 70-72 skylark (GS) inner splash shields that are close to the originals?
